A graphic novel adaptation is on its way for D.R. O’Brien’s horror-comedy mash-up Shakespeare vs. Lovecraft, and we have a few preview panels provided by the author that reveal Juliet is not the girl she used to be! Check ’em out!

Synopsis:
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.” — William Shakespeare

“In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” — Howard Phillips Lovecraft

In the same putrid vein as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Shakespeare vs. Lovecraft slithers hideously onto the literary mash-up scene, whispering of cosmic horrors and eldritch tales whilst espousing sweet soliloquies and profoundly contemplating mankind’s place in the universe.

Prospero, driven dangerously insane by prolonged exposure to the dread Necronomicon, makes a terrible pact with the titanic alien beast known as Cthulhu. Now only his enchantress daughter, Miranda, and a handful of history’s greatest heroes are all that stand between humanity and blasphemous eternal subjugation.

It’s a bloodbath of Shakespearean proportions as Cthulhu and his eldritch companions come at our protagonists from all manner of strange geometric angles in a hideous and savage battle for supremacy.

This horror-comedy will seize you in its clammy grip and not release you until you have gone positively mad with delight! Witness all this and more:

Histrionic Heroes vs. Tentacled Terrors!!! Endless Soliloquys vs. Unnatural Silences!!!
Romeo vs. Mi-Go!!! England’s Royal Beasts vs. A Shoggoth!!!
The Author vs. Iambic Pentameter!!!

Kim and Ket Stay Alive... Maybe

Ep. 343 Oddity, Part 1: “The Tale of the Woodm’n”

Ket tells Kim a movie that’s been on their list for a while and, to be clear, it does NOT star Brienne of Tarth. It does star a favorite Irish actor, Carolyn Bracken, along with a truly terrifying Woodm’n who isn’t even the biggest monster of the movie! Stay tuned for part 2 to find out who is… Writer/Dir.

Kim and Ket Stay Alive... Maybe

Ep. 346 Strange Darling: “The Tale of Serial Killer Punch Cards, Part 2”

Kim tells Ket Part 2 of Strange Darling. Quick question, what do people use those horizontal industrial fridges for if not to store dead bodies? Ket stayed 100% alive in part 1, for the first time in episode history! (Because there were no questions asked or points totaled.) No doubt she does JUST as well in the back half! Most importantly, we’ll learn if Ket will live or die in Strange Darling.Writer/Dir.

Ep. 344 Oddity Part 2: “The Tale of the Woodm’n”

Ket tells Kim Part 2 of Oddity. Kim refreshes our goldfish brains on how it all shook out in part 1. So, let’s all sit back down and have a charcuterie with our terrifying Man ‘o’ Wood. All the girls can ask is “does anyone have the hook up on where they could find their own Woodm’n? We have some ‘monsters’ to vanquish.” Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Oddity. Writer/Dir.
