Bad Books for Bad People

Tenebrous Kate and J. Guignol

Every month (or so), Tenebrous Kate and Jack Guignol cover the weirdest, kinkiest, and most outrageous fiction we can unearth. The books discussed range from classics of gothic literature to startling works of new weird, from romantic potboilers to horror epics, from cult favorites to obscure pulp treasures. Join us for a smarter-than-average look at WAY-weirder-than-average books.

  • When people knew stuff

My sense is that they are both smarter than I am, but, like, a couple of shots of whiskey or something would quickly bridge the gap. They’re the people who might have intimidated me at the beginning of a party where people were wearing black and smoking cloves, but, by the end of the night we’d all be singing the theme... more
