Show Notes

A fortnight has passed, and in this episode we're coming to America. Well, maybe not the America, but an America. Full of gods and miracles and the horror both bring with them. Join us as we road trip with the olds gods and the new. Talking points: this book is one long existential crisis; perspectives of space and time informed by one's geographical origin; what we're willing to sacrifice for normality and prosperity; you are what you worship, and you worship what you value; how this work has aged in a vast technological world; and, hey, it doesn't matter if you believe in us. We believe in you.
