Announcing The Danse Macabre
Added 2020-08-31 20:59:59 +0000 UTCExciting news!
Inspired by Donnie McHenry's Sweet Treat suggestion, the Losers are going to start a completely new recurring series within The Losers' Club called The Danse Macabre.
This is going to see us give our ol' deep dive book episodes on titles that inspired Stephen King, specifically those outlined in his Danse Macabre novel. Hence the name. Haha.
Our first episode will drop in the regular feed this October and will see us going all in on Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. We thought that would be a good start.
We'll be announcing the feature later this month, but we wanted to give you Patrons the heads up. That way you can start reading or re-reading if you needed to...
It gets better: After Hill House, we'll leave it to you all to vote on our next Danse Macabre in a Patreon-exclusive poll. So, if you want us to dig into Bradbury, you can vote Bradbury.
Anyways, thought you'd all love to know! Very exciting stuff coming up for The Losers' Club -- including some more media in The Barrens -- and we hope you all enjoy.

Pumped for this! I like to try and listen to Danse Macabre every fall and always get so many ideas for what to read next.

2020-08-31 21:51:00 +0000 UTCSounds fabulous! I read The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons specifically because of Big Steve's recommendation in Danse Macabre. I think it would be quite interesting to hear what the Losers think about that book. I like me some Bradbury too. Very excited.

2020-08-31 21:50:49 +0000 UTCFingers crossed we do Bradbury. I love Something Wicked This Way Comes so much.

2020-08-31 21:12:08 +0000 UTCYeah, we're pretty stoked too, and it's good timing ahead of the gothic horror of Flanagan's Bly Manor.

2020-08-31 21:06:46 +0000 UTCThis will finally give me a reason to read something other than King! Another great addition to the pod.
