We begin today’s episode with a quick review of “The Monkey, ” adapted from the Stephen King short story of the same name.

After that, we go into a deep and nuanced discussion about reading the works of authors who have done terrible things in their personal lives. The main culprit we discuss is Neil Gaiman who has recently come under fire for allegedly assaulting women in the worst ways.

DBS #138: The Woes Of Reading Perverted Fiction Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We open today's episode with an interesting question: if you could become the greatest ever in one art form, what art form would you choose? Writer, painter, actor, singer? Somehow, this segues into a conversation about who we think the greatest comic book writer in history is.  After that, we talk about how DISGUSTING Gravity's Rainbow is. Like, Epstein Files disgusting! WTF is wrong with Thomas Pynchon??? You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
