It's the end of the world as we know it. And we feel fine. It's Episode 5 of Buzz Words, and this week we take on Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. This has been a long time coming. Mostly because Craig couldn't find the time to finish it, even though he was the first to grab a copy. This book is simply amazing, especially if you grew up in the 80s and played any video games or D&D. If you thought Ready Player One was awesome, hold onto your boxers and grab your cat.
In Episode 4 of Buzz Words, Scott, Howie, and Craig discuss The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances by Glenn Dixon. This one will hit you in the feels, both teary and angry. In a cross between the Brave Little Toaster, 1984, and a slew of other books, this novel, while short, packs a lot of punch. And makes you think. The future is almost here. Are we ready for it? Listen and find out what we thought of this book.
Episode 3 of Buzz Words features our first interview with an author. Edward Ashton, author of Mickey 7 (which was the inspiration for the Movie Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson), Antimatter Blues, The Fourth Consort, and After the Falls, joins us to talk about his latest book, After the Fall. We are grateful to Edward for taking time out of his day to speak with us. We also plan our next reading adventure, which will be coming out soon.
