Dead Until Dark (True Blood) with Literature & Lofi

10/20/21 • 95 min

Your hosts continue their spooky season reading in this episode of Fiction Fans! This time they are joined by Benjamin from Literature & Lofi to talk about trashy vampires in Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (you might know it better as the first book in the True Blood series). For a book that contains so much sex, it’s weirdly prudish.

They also visit the Pet Peeve Corner to talk about lending books, and how frustrating it is to never get them back.

Previous Episode

The Apple-Tree Throne and The Stress of Her Regard

Before your hosts dive into spooky season, they talk about some book recommendations. They discuss The Apple-Tree Throne by Premee Mohamed but it was almost all spoilers, so you should just go read it. They also read The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers. They agree-- vampires are cool. Byron is byronic. But are the other characters real people? The answer may surprise you. This episode includes a visit to the Pet Peeve Corner: Are typos a stylistic choice? That answer won’t surprise you.

A Ritual of Bone & Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder

In this Spooky Finale Sara has to deal with Lilly ranting about Zombies for about 45 minutes (most of which was cut) in their conversation about “A Ritual of Bone” by Lee C. Conley. They also discuss “Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder” by William Hope Hodgson and to what degree it is Sherlock Holmes fanfiction (more than zero).They also attempt to pronounce all of the weird, weird words Hodgson made up for his supernatural investigator. ‘Raaaee’ needs more consonants.

Other Weird Words in this episode: "Aeiirii" and "Saiitii," the "Saaamaaa Ritual," the "Incantation of Raaaee"
