For this episode we read The Litany of Earth by Ruthanna Emrys. It's a sequel of sorts to The Shadow Over Innsmouth and thus we must also tangle with the thorny legacy of HP Lovecraft.

Technical difficulties have forced us to dip back in the vaults for this episode and in said we vaults we found our discussion of Night Master, the first book in Tanith Lee's Flat Earth Cycle. It's a compelling slice of mythic 70s fantasy and well worth your time.

This episode’s stories are St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell and Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by Jorge Luis Borges. (Warning: Borges’s name is mispronounced throughout the episode. Nate has been saddled with all the blame and he has been exiled to the underside of the flat earth as punishment.) We touch on a lot of stuff in this one from the cultural effects of schooling to the relationship between fiction and reality. Andrea shares her thoughts on N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy and Nate lists his favorite kinds of rolls.
