We begin today’s episode with a long, long discussion about online jerks and some critiques of Wuthering Heights. Things quickly devolve into shaming said online jerks, but if you don’t care about any of that nonsense, you can skip straight to our Horror of the Month book review by going to the timestamp 26:29.

For our November Horror of the Month read, we’re discussing the gripping slasher, “The Boatmore Butcher” by L. Stephenson:

Three paramedics are drawn into the mystery of a bizarre spree unfolding in a quiet island town. Devastated by the loss of his son, Liam Price, must hold it together whilst leading his team against a killer who finds new and twisted ways to prevent them for saving the lives of their victims.

#218: Talking About Pulp Novels Again Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In today's cold open, we discuss the nonsense that is Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It's about rockets and man boners. That's probably all you need to know.  After that, we settle in and talk about famous literary novels that started off as pulp. Or so we're told! There's a lot of goofiness packed into this one. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @dpwpodcast.  You can check out Caleb's work at http://www.calebjamesk.com.
