Send us a textThis episode, we're joined by John (aka Telepathy Party on Twitter), to wax lyrical about our favourite literary fantasist, John Crowley. While we didn't have enough time to read his big, magical magnum opus, Little, Big, we chose to read one  of Crowley's novellas, In Blue, a haunting, ambivalent piece of dystopian fiction. We gush about Crowley's virtuosic sentences and weird obsessions, while touching on RL Stine's Goosebumps books, fantasy and science fiction, how crap Neil Gaiman is, what makes In Blue such an unnerving dystopia in comparison to Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World, as well as gnosticism, nihilism, and meaninglessness. We round off the episode with an actual Telepathy Party! John offers his knowledge of the tarot to give Rio a reading. Energies combine and vibe and Rio absorbs the mystical wisdom of the cards, learns how he might shape his destiny. Support the show
