What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows, but so too does Thomas Pynchon, we're pretty sure.
This week, we're celebrating the latest from Pynchon with Devin Thomas O'Shea ("Thomas Pynchon Has Been Warning Us About American Fascism the Whole Time") and a wide-ranging conversation about the man's keen eye on American darkness—but before that, our own Oliver Scialdone drops by to chat splatterpunk and why oozy body horror deserves your attention. (Also, if you want to read Oliver's full essay about splatter, you might want to become a member...) Then, to wrap things up, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore (Terry Dactyl) calls in to suggest some ways we might all get better at supporting one another and why feeling jealousy might be the right moment to get excited instead.
