We saved the best for last. We're talking Mary Shelley's On Ghosts and spectral solidarity.
Just as a reminder, bonus episodes will continue for our supporters, but now they're going to be on horror movies! The thing our podcast is about! Wow!
The Arcane Book Club of Horrors will also continue, but now as an actual book club! Truly, it is the best of both worlds!
2021-05-31 21:27:33 +0000 UTC View PostDear Listeners,
We’ve been recording Arcane Book Club of Horrors episodes for two and a half years. It’s been a spooky hayride through some of the left’s most haunted texts and the icons of ghastly storytelling. As we head towards year three of HV, we’re changing things up!
The monthly ABCoH bonus episodes are getting switched out for monthly bonus episodes on, wait for it, HORROR MOVIES! We know, the horror movie criticism podcast having bonus episodes on horror movies is...

2021-05-12 22:05:10 +0000 UTC View PostDear Listeners,
I just went through the HV Patreon exit surveys and I’m deeply moved. I wanted to write a quick thank you letter to our supporters past, future, and present.
Out of all of the people who filled out exit surveys, the majority of those who left a comment said that they were leaving due to financial hardship. We had notes about people being laid off, the burden of medical expenses, and heartbreaking comments about personal struggles.

Episode 141 is on the way, but it's going to be a few days late. My cat, I mean gremlins, miscalculated a jump and knocked my recording setup off the desk. New parts are on they way.

This movie is just wild. Honestly. I'm in awe of its discourse.
