The Two Mikes

The Two Mikes
Ever wanted to talk with someone about a book you just read? You could just join a book group and talk about it, drink a little, veer off on tangents, work back around to the book again, and finally wrap it up by picking the next book.

But what happens when the book you just read is about about hungry zombies or a haunted house, and your Eat, Pray, Love–reading friends aren’t really into reading it, much less discussing its finer points? That’s what we’re here for. We Two Mikes will be your virtual book group for discussing new and interesting and old and half-forgotten horror books.

If you want to follow along with us, look at the next forbidden book on the table and start reading.

Episode 3.0: Fritz Leiber's Our Lady of Darkness


2/25/07

Rambling discussion of Fritz Leiber’s award-winning novel of the supernatural, with frequent reference to Leiber’s Conjure Wife. Mike invents a new drink and the other Mike hides his shame after opening a bottle of horrible Romanian wine. The conversation comes to a complete halt when the boys are overwhelmed by the novel's kitchen-sink approach to storytelling.
