The Charcutereads Board

Howdy folks, just a brief check-in: the podcast is still on, but your stalwart host has a big family emergency to deal with right now so schedules are downright haywire. Y'all just sit tight, and hopefully we'll record in the next two weeks.

Taking a break from my intermittent short story posting for a quick reminder/notice: our next episode will pair TENDER IS THE FLESH by Agustina Bazterrica and TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2. This is your chance to catch up and be ready if you don't want spoilers!

each thing i show you is a piece of my death “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, William Shakespeare....

"No Matter Which Way We Turned" by Brian Evenson. An abduction goes terribly wrong. No one does it like Evenson, tbh.

Alright okay let's get into it, short story recs by yours truly, with links if I can get them:

Perhaps tonight I will do a little spooky short story rec thread? Perhaps we do a little short story fun?? Ya???

Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91 Jane Goodall Institute says ‘tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

I had the very great pleasure of meeting the very great Jane Goodall at a museum event many years ago — where she graciously signed a book for my sister, an environmental biologist. A superb human being in every sense: generous, thoughtful, and inspiring.

Also it’s funny that people chalk up the Jack sobriety timeline being off to the hotel warping time or whatever. Have you ever heard of lying

The adjective "queasy" implies the existence of "quease", a substance or phenomenon which a queasy person either resembles or contains.

Celebrated shark expert reads Jaws for the first time, learns to hate women.

@fern-on-here.bsky.social and I have, admittedly, been planning this one for a bit, but, ya know, shit happens. Excited to hit I think our first one where both halves were both a book and film? and were both released within a few years of one another.
