Pleasant Evenings Book Club
Welcome to Pleasant Evenings Book Club, a podcast focused on literary criticism and analysis. Our main focus is literature but we also have been known to dabble in movies, television, and frankly whatever we see fit. We’re here to have fun with some heavy texts, and more than anything else, make more evenings pleasant. Currently on a quest to watch all of Mobile Suit Gundam, but we’re still a book club!

You've seen the video game adaptation in Top 10 lists for "MOst DISTURBING GAMES!" (maybe that's just me) but have you read the landmark 1967 short story by Harlan Ellison?
It's bleak, it's unhinged, and finally, it's being covered by the only podcast on the internet devoted to having pleasant evenings, Pleasant Evenings Book Club!

Probably the most famous horror writer you can't find in an airport, Thomas Ligotti is the name to beat for cult-status in literary horror.
For our first episode of Pleasant Evenings Book Club, we're diving into his Nyctalops Trilogy. Three very different stories linked by a very familiar evil at the center of the stories' point of view.
We talk about the warped mind of abusers, pessimism in modern life, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It's a good time.
