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 155 - The Only Good Indian by Stephen Graham Jones

  


Join The Two Mikes but quietly tip toe backwards as they come upon a herd of ghostly elk in Stephan Graham Jones's horror novel  The Only Good Indians.  You can run but the Elk Head Woman will find you and she's going to want to play a mean game of H-O-R-S-E.


It's Cocktail Time!

The Elks Club  ( yes, there is no apostrophe)

1/4 ounce dry vermouth

2  ounces SoCo

Dash bitters

Maraschino Cherry to garnish.

Directions: Shack in an ice filled shaker.  Pour into a high ball glass or strain into a martini glass.

Episode 71 Off Season by Jack Ketchum






The Mikes ponder all the ways "To Serve Man" in Jack Ketchum's classic cookbook / horror novel OFF SEASON. Whether broasted or fricasseed even Julie Child would be schooled by this gruesome, bloody, dark, disturbing romp into unexpurgated ritualistic cannibalism. Yum.


COCKTAIL TIME

Two Fingers


In a tall glass of ice pour:
Two fingers of anejo tequila
Three fingers of tomato juice
Two fingers of Rauchbier (a German smoked beer)

Add some smokey hot sauce and a lime. Stir.  If you have a nice smoked pig's knuckle, garnish freely.




Music: Shake Your Tail Feather

Episode 68: David Wong's John Dies at the End



We Two Mikes rip off one more episode before the year's end. In it we get off a short n sweet discussion of David Wong's gonzo web novel made good. Read it now before the movie comes out.


It's Cocktail Time!

Soy Sauce

Pour yourself a shot of tequila and top it with a dash of soy sauce and a dash of Tabasco sauce. Shoot it in the head.



Special closing music: "Christmas with the Devil" by Spinal Tap
