The fantasy tour for 2025 kicks off with this crumbling vestige of fantasy literature that endures against the masses. Ghormengast is the great castle that outlasts all, and within its hallowed halls, the ritualistic mundane life of the Earl of Groan is carried out daily. Around him, a fantastically absurd cast of characters go about their day in one of the richest fantasy novels to date.
Painting: Today I painted the castle of Ghormengast against a stormy sky
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Titus Groan” by Mervyn Peake
“A Girl Returned” by Donatella Di Pietrantonio

The world book tour takes flight and this month we are off to Italy. The Moon and the Bonfires by Cesare Pavese asking the personal question of ‘what is a home?’ If you leave your home and come back to find that you and it have changed, is it still your home. Lyrically pervasive with an attractive uneasiness, the novel packs a punch to remedy those January blues.
Painting: Today I a blue Italy with a lone bonfire burning under a moon.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Moon and the Bonfires” by Cesare Pavese
“The Victorian Chaise-Lounge” by Marghanita Laski

“A Girl Returned” by Donatella Di Pietrantonio

What is a book? What constitutes a novel? These are the questions I ask while navigating 7 and a half stories of urban dread and social destruction. The interplay of youth and the political, the navigation of social norms and customs against the backdrop of familial ties and responsibilities. 7 and a half stories weaved into a tale of youth, love, beauty and everything that makes us human.
Painting: Today I painted a rubble heap of rocks beneath a black night.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Rubble Children” by Aaron Kreuter
“Titus Groan” by Mervyn Peake

Stephen King's Misery traps readers in a harrowing tale of obsession and survival. When best-selling author Paul Sheldon finds himself injured and at the mercy of his "number one fan," Annie Wilkes, the line between admiration and madness blurs. Fueled by sinister hospitality and a typewriter's click, it's a chilling reminder: some fans don't want sequels, they demand rewrites.
Painting: Today I painted the house Paul found himself a prisoner in
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Belgariad” by David Eddings
“Misery” by Stephen King
