I was just coming here to see if someone had tipped Chris and Chad off about this yet. Absolutely disgusting. The Witches has been gutted of almost anything frightening or horrific. It's a children's horror story for Cthulhu's sake!

I should have known "The Autopsy" was a Michael Shea story! Even when I was watching that episode, I was thinking, "This really strikes that Shea balance of having visceral, brutal cosmic horror, but featuring an ordinary, vulnerable human who somehow finds the backdoor agency to give the finger to the Audient Void." It must be one of the stories I haven't read yet, but I can't wait to get to it.

Did you guys hear about the extensive rewriting of Roald Dahl books that was announced yesterday? The publishers are doing it to appeal to modern sensibilities (I assumed maybe removing an occasional racist description that slipped by and was acceptable at the time), but when you look at the hundreds of actual changes that have been made for each book, it's really awful. Loads of great writing was removed, especially if there was any reference to fatness, and was replaced with the most bland and milquetoast slop. https://www.telegraph.co.uk./news/2023/02/17/roald-dahl-books-rewritten-offensive-matilda-witches-twits/ Examples: "You can’t go round pulling the hair of every lady you meet, even if she is wearing gloves. Just you try it and see what happens" -----> "Besides, there are plenty of other reasons why women might wear wigs and there is certainly nothing wrong with that" "I climbed up to their tree-house village and poked my head in through the door of the tree house belonging to the leader of the tribe" -----> "I decided to speak to their leader" "Even if she is working as a cashier in a supermarket or typing letters for a businessman" -----> "Even if she is working as a top scientist or running a business"
