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.

        Click to listen 

Are you there God? It is us, The Two Mikes and Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires.  Listen as we journey through a plague ridden world devoid of compassion, and goodness and replete with superstition and horror. Here is where the leaders are most likely the actual spawn of hell.  No, it does not take place in 2022.


It's Cocktail Time!

Arrow in the Tongue

For 15 minutes, gently warm a quarter cup of cream or half and half, with either a Ghost Pepper or a Scotch Bonnett.  Let this cool.

In a rocks glass filled with ice combine:

1  shot of the infused cream

1 shot of Kahlua

1 shot of Cream de Cacao

Stir and garnish with a sliver of the hot pepper skewered by a cocktail sword.

Chin Chin.

In a town that is not Salem's Lot, comes a man who is not John Rambo to fight a vampire who is really a vampire. What should we title it? Not First Blood. How about Night Blood! Yeah, that's good.

It's Cocktail Time!

The Hoosier Hot Shot
  • Perk some crappy hospital coffee (not the goods stuff).
  • Pour into a diner-style mug, leave an inch of space
  • Float shot of James Dickel bourbon
  • a shot or two of half-and-half
  • shot of Kahlua
