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 170: The End (for now) of Necronomipod

 


And so the Two Mikes finish their sixteen+ year journey to read scary books together and try to come up with intelligent and fun things to say about them. And make cocktails. We had a great time. Thanks to all who listened along! And thanks to all who've engaged with the site and with us. And thanks especially to all the authors. So many great books.

We'll keep the site alive, so no worries there. Feel free to reach out to our email or leave comments on individual episodes. We're still here, and—who knows?—maybe we'll drop a new episode once in a while.

Now what should we do with this one?


It's Cocktail Time, Blast from the Past edition!
 
The Frisky Witch
1 part Vodka

Episode 169: Lisa Tuttle's Familiar Spirit

 


We two Mikes tackle, for our penultimate episode, Lisa Tuttle's first horror novel. We struggle to recall the details (as we are getting on in years) and eventually things start to get more familiar. 

It's Cocktail Time!

Cocktails with Mr. Lunch

In a shaker with ice, pour
  • 1 shot Cointreau
  • 1 shot lime juice
  • 1 shot gin
  • 1 shot Chartreuse
Shake and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lime wheel and cherry

Chin chin!
