Swords & Shotguns

Welcome to The Future World!

This episode we delve into the world of science fiction. We will take a look at the issues often tackled in the genre that seem to creep into our own reality. But, because it's such a vast topic, I invited my good friend Chris to the conversation.
A few corrections:
Yes, positive alterations of a fetus in mother's womb are possible. That's what fetal surgeries are for. I only meant the natural state of the fetus when it's being developed through all the stages. But again, you could argue a proper diet and smart lifestyle choices also have an impact on the child.

Happy Halloween!

Welcome to the second part of the Halloween Special! Today we will take a look at a story by one of the top pulp fiction writers - Clark Ashton Smith. Get yourself a cup of tea, sit back, and listen to the chilling tale of "A Vintage from Atlantis".
And yes, I did make a rather silly mistake of saying Internet Archive doesn't provide a counter of views per file. I ended up using it in fact!
Only after I have already recorded the whole story did I realise how weird my pronunciation of the word "causey" is. Oh well!

The first episode of Swords & Shotguns is here!

A brief look at where zombies come from, and what makes these flesh-eating creatures scary. Consider this a Zombie 101!
I forgot to mention an author that got zombie apocalypse frigtheningly right - Max Brooks! His book "World War Z" is a must, and his previous zombie book "Zombie Survival Guide" is one of the most immersive pieces of horror fiction ever.
