Dropping down on all fours, the Mikes gnaw and whimper and snarl over Toby Barlow's hardboiled epic werewolf poem. Come on, tear off a hunk!

It's Cocktail time!

Hair of the Dog
In a shot glass pour:

1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz Irish whiskey
2 shakes Tabasco sauce
big pinch of salt

Grasp firmly and shoot it down like the rabid dog you are . . .

Closing music: Hair of the Dog by Nazareth

Bravely tackling a book that a bookseller warned them away from (our first real "forbidden" book), the Mikes shamelessly hop on board another publishing juggernaut and along the way try to understand the mind of the teenage girl. We get nowhere, and ookiness results.


It's Cocktail Time!

Soul Kiss Cocktail

1 1/2 tsp Dubonnet Rouge
1 1/2 tsp OJ
3/4 ounce Bourbon
3/4 ounce Dry Vermouth

Shake with ice, strain, pour into a martini glass and prepare to lose yourself—forever.

Click Book Cover To Listen

By carefully avoiding girls with pointy shoes, The Mikes further their schooling in all things Spook in Joseph Delaney's The Last Apprentice Series, Book 3 - Night of the Soul Stealer and Book 4 - Attack of the Fiend. It takes a while for the guys to warm up in that cold bitter Spring of Doppletown USA but eventually the pontificating hits new heights and we all warm ourselves in the impending fires of the Apocalypse foreshadowed at the end of the book.


IT'S COCKTAIL TIME!

Blood Magic Cocktail

Crushed ice
2 shots Grenadine
3 shots OJ
1 shot Banana Liquor
1 egg white ( pasteurized - Egg Beaters or Crackleberry)

Shake it up till nice and frothy and pour into your favorite martini glass. You can garnish with a bleached white bone but we wouldn't recommend it.



End Music : Black Magic Women by Deep Purple.
