The Two Mikes

The Two Mikes
Ever wanted to talk with someone about a book you just read? You could just join a book group and talk about it, drink a little, veer off on tangents, work back around to the book again, and finally wrap it up by picking the next book.

But what happens when the book you just read is about about hungry zombies or a haunted house, and your Eat, Pray, Love–reading friends aren’t really into reading it, much less discussing its finer points? That’s what we’re here for. We Two Mikes will be your virtual book group for discussing new and interesting and old and half-forgotten horror books.

If you want to follow along with us, look at the next forbidden book on the table and start reading.

Episode 10.0: Brian Wilson Aldiss's - Frankenstein Unbound


Yes - #10! The guys buck the malaise that has overtaken them and slog through time and space with Brian Aldiss's Frankenstein Unbound. They learn that Mary Shelley was one hot eighteenth-century babe and stand perplexed by the ins and outs of monster-making gynecology.


Cocktail



Doin' Mary Shelley




1 part gin
1 part Pernod
2 parts cranberry juice
whatever body parts you desire

Serve over ice.
We created it, but now we despise it.


Music Recommendations: Adolph Hofner - South Texas Swing (because the book starts off in Texas).

Additional Music by Harry and the Potters - "The Foil (Malfoy)"
