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 92: Dennis Wheatley's The Devil Rides Out


The Mikes emerge from a longer-than-usual hiatus with a classic of satanic literature. We find much to admire in this early and influential entry in to the literature of the Dark Lord. We also spend some awkward minutes counting our orifices.

It's Cocktail Time!

Holy Water

In a Collins glass filled with ice cubes combine:
  •    1 shot bourbon
  •    1 shot brandy
  •    1 shot sweet vermouth
  •    1 shot lemon simple syrup
  •    1/2 shot Farigoule

Top off with filtered or distilled water.
Stir and enjoy (once you've blessed your nine orifices, of course).


Special closing music: "The Devil Rides Out" by Icarus
