Bookhouse Boys - The Willows

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/cd/4a/jasonfarrell2/3000x3000_3997415.jpg] Oooooooh, creepy. It's Halloween again, and that means one thing. Going to a lame haunted house. Okay, two things. You also need to run out and buy a big bag of lollipops for the trick-or-treaters, and not the Snickers you wanted because you waited until the last second again. Okay, three things: going to your neighbor's lame party you tried to get out of, but you and your wife gave two different reasons when they invited you and now you have to go and just try to sneak out at 9:49pm. Let me cut to the chase: the one hundred and ninth thing that Halloween means is another episode of The Bookhouse Boys! This year we tackle "The Willows" and our primal fears of the unknown, of alienation and loneliness, and the knowledge, deep down, that we live on this planet only by the grace and forbearance of forces beyond our ken.

Bookhouse Boys: Go Set a Watchman

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/cd/4a/jasonfarrell2/3000x3000_3997415.jpg] There are only a few literary events of sufficient gravity to lure the Bookhouse Boys out of retirement: dinosaur romance....a new Twilight novel...or a new novel from infamously reticent one shot wonder Harper Lee. Join us as we boldly lay bare our childhood heroes, strip the rose-colored gauze from our eyes, and decide whether GSAW can stand proudly alongside the greatest works of American literature...or if its only legacy will be to topple one of literature's most revered pillars.

Bookhouse Boys Halloween Special 2014: Annihilation

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/cd/4a/jasonfarrell2/3000x3000_3997415.jpg] Boo!  The Bookhouse Boys reconvene for one more Samhain ritual, dragging along poor guest Scott to be our sacrificial victim.  We discuss Book 1 of the Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer, Annihilation, and then chat about other random topics both macabre and mundane.  Join us...if YOU DARE! ...and you probably should, cause it isn't scary at all and it's lonely out here on the internet.  Can I have a Snickers bar?
