#24: The year is 1928 and this book is fine. It's fine. It's Fine. Come for one of our best lady characters, stay for the author's earnest opinions about M O D E R N W O M E N. Also, pretty sure this counts for one of our racier Apocalypses so far! Well, what do you expect, the author had 10 kids.

play

05/22/19 • 89 min

#8: The year is 1901, and H.P. Lovecraft had OPINIONS about THE PURPLE CLOUD, so you know it's going to be a doozy. Come for the Decadent movement and the birth of the Yellow Peril novel (YIKES), stay for the unfortunate last minute Pygmalion swerve.

[CONTENT WARNING] Starting at 1:21:36, there is discussion about the sexual assault of a minor.

Apocalist Book Club - Ep. 22: Nordenholt's Million by J. J. Connington
play

07/15/20 • 75 min

#22: The year is 1923, which means we are deep in proto-Fascism territory. Raven started this read and warned that it was as if Ayn Rand wrote Caesar's Column. Never let an Organic Chemist run wild with Science Fiction, always bring a back-up Biologist. Come for Nella's total saltiness, stay for this villain's POV version of a YA dystopian novel.
