This is the second part of our Stephen King episode! The master of horror has collected interesting anecdotes and real-life characters since before he was a teenage grave digger, drawing on those experiences for future stories. Hannah and Tyler dive into the stories behind some of King's most famous stories. And of course... Tyler goes off the rails.  Hannah read Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King, by Lisa Rogak.   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song. https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft @twclawson_pdx @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

Stephen King Part 2

Master of horror Stephen King has penned more than 60 novels, several works of nonfiction, and hundreds of short stories in his career and shows no signs of slowing down.

Stephen King Part1

Lauren Coontz is an Army veteran who studied anthropology in college before deciding to become a journalist. She’s also a fairy tale enthusiast, which is what we planned to spend the bulk of the episode discussing, but we went off on a million tangents including human sacrifice, her least favorite sergeant and his inappropriate shorts, and how prosecutors may have screwed up the investigation into infamous murderer Charles Manson. As a warning, Lauren quite possibly swears more than any guest we’ve had on yet, so if that offends you, f*** off.   Follow Lauren's work at: https://coffeeordie.com/lauren-coontzblackriflecoffee-com/ https://www.instagram.com/coontzywoontzy/   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song: https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft   Tyler is @twclawson_pdx   Hannah is @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

Generations of children have grown up hearing stories like "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "The Ants and the Grasshopper." They're known as Aesop's Fables, but Aesop himself may have been nothing more than a legend. Hannah and Tyler discuss his life story (true or not) and the impact of his works some 2,500 years later. We’re already gearing up for our Halloween flash fiction special! Email your spooky, scary, or silly stories to lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com no later than October 4.

Aesop‘s Fables

He's a thirty-something husband and father who spent my early years reading Marvel comics, writing and illustrating comics of his own, learning the secrets of the ooze, the balance of the force, the deeper magic from before the dawn of time, awakening the wind fish, shooting marbles and slamming pogs, collecting and trading Pokémon cards, rescuing the Tribals from Mizar and his drones, restoring Hyrule and becoming the Hero of Time, searching the scriptures, studying eschatology, and feeling just as—if not more—fascinated with the worlds created by Shakespeare, Dickens, Salinger, and Steinbeck; as with those of Rowling, King, Lewis, and Tolkien. He's P.S. PATTON!!!!! It was so awesome to meet someone who is as dedicated to their own self improvement as Patrick is. Be sure to look out for his up incoming novel, and go pick up his short.

Once upon a time, two brothers embarked on an ambitious quest to collect the folk stories and fairy tales of Germany in hopes of uniting the fractured fatherland around shared traditions. They were the Brothers Grimm, and although they probably didn’t realize it in their lifetime, their diligent work would impact literature, movies, and other art forms for centuries to come. Join Hannah and Tyler as they discuss the life, legacy, and weirdly close relationship of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.   Biography referenced: “The Brothers Grimm: From Enchanted Forests to the Modern World” by Jack Zipes   We’re already gearing up for our Halloween flash fiction special!

The US withdrawal, originally slated to be complete by August 31, has not been going smoothly. The Taliban took control astonishingly fast, seizing province after province and, finally, on August 15, they took over the capital city, Kabul.  Hannah speaks with Matt Fratus, a history writer at Coffee or Die Magazine (that's where I work) and host of the Late Night History podcast. Matt has written numerous pieces about the Taliban’s original rise to power and reign in Afghanistan during the ‘90s and offers useful context for the present situation. We also talk about the group’s impact on arts, culture and education, and discuss some books and other media people can look into if they’re interested in learning more about the situation.   Follow Matt's work: https://www.instagram.com/latenighthistory/ https://coffeeordie.com/matt/   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song: https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft   Tyler is @twclawson_pdx   Hannah is @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

Wanna hear Tyler have a straight asthma attack because he's so exited? Then listen to this episode. Tyler sits down with Kelsey Dionne, the creator and author of the Arcane Library. She writes modules for D&D, putting her love of the game into a storytelling medium that is as hard to pull of as any.

It’s official. Fan fiction has gone mainstream. Specifically, erotic fan fiction. Hannah makes Tyler listen to the success stories of E. L. James – author of the “50 Shades of Grey” series – and “After” writer Anna Todd. Both women started their writing career by imagining alternate storylines for existing characters – or in Todd’s case, Harry Styles of the British pop-group One Direction. They self-published online and then, after literary bigwigs saw their enormous success, revamped their stories through traditional publishers, raking in millions of dollars and snagging movie deals on top of it.   Tyler read nothing for this episode, his least amount of preparation yet, though he still managed to chime in with some insight. Hannah read “50 Shades of Grey” and “After” and skimmed the movie version of the latter. She recommends you skip all three, but if someone puts a gun to your head and demands you choose one, pick “50 Shades of Grey.”   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song. https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft   Tyler is @twclawson_pdx   Hannah is @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

Stephenie Meyer, author of the mega-hit “Twilight” series, is alternately beloved or hated depending on which circles you run in. Hannah and Tyler discuss her background, almost overnight ascent to fame, close relationship with her fans, and the actual content of her books. Warning, Tyler has a super spicy take on the underlying theme of “Twilight.”   Hannah read “Stephenie Meyer: In the Twilight” by James Blassingame Jr. Tyler read “Twilight.”    Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song. https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft   Tyler is @twclawson_pdx   Hannah is @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

Hannah finally gets to meet a longtime friend of the show/immensely talented writer whose work you should be familiar with if you’ve listened to our flash fiction specials. Brianna Fenty shared her experience writing a novel, getting an agent, and navigating the publishing world. But no matter how much success you have as a writer, she and Hannah both bonded over the fact that saying words out loud is just really hard.   Follow Brianna at: https://www.briannafenty.com @drysharks   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song. https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft   Tyler is @twclawson_pdx   Hannah is @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

“You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.”   Sci-fi writer, Navy veteran, and prolific liar L. Ron Hubbard starts the Church of Scientology and gets rich in part two of our discussion. Hannah and Tyler lose their minds over the times he casually kidnapped his daughter and wife, the bizarre world that was Sea Org, and his creepy army of “messengers.”   Hannah and Tyler both read “Bare-Faced Messiah” by Russell Miller.   Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song. https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen   As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7   Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft   Tyler is @twclawson_pdx   Hannah is @thehannahray   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/   Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/   Email: lewisandlovecraft@gmail.com

Laura Nettles blew us away in the sci-fi flash fiction episode with her story "Rust," and as Hannah learns in this episode, she wrote the miniature masterpiece in just 20 minutes based off a one-word writing prompt. Laura only started writing seriously within the last few years (after she heard about NaNoWriMo), but she's already racked up bylines in several anthologies and has more on the way. Plus, she's got a super cool day job lighting monsters in movies like "The Shape of Water."   See more of Laura's work at: https://www.lauranettles.com   Shout out to Jake Bassen for our theme song.
