Hosts Daniel, Heidi, and Colin discuss reading John Langan's The Fisherman and S.L. Coney's Wild Spaces, exploring themes of grief, cosmic horror, and generational trauma. They analyze narrative structure, symbolism, and the emotional impact of both works.

The episode also touches on TTRPG worlds, book recommendations, and how horror blends dread with moments of dark humor. A warm, conversational episode that balances literary analysis with personal reactions.
