Episode Description
This week on the Page Chewing Weekly Update, I share one of my biggest surprises of the year as The Bonehunters delivers what may be my favorite chapter in the series so far, without diving into spoilers. I also talk about revisiting The Darkness That Comes Before, why rereading continues to reveal new layers, and my thoughts on Lone Wolf and Cub and Carpentry in the Elven Forest.
Beyond the books, I reveal some exciting changes coming to the podcast schedule, including the launch of Beyond the Page, a new interview series featuring authors, publishers, and other creative voices. I also discuss plans for The Daily Page, a short weekday series built around timeless quotes and reflections from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.
I also share my thoughts on finally revisiting Paranormal Activity, why I think found-footage horror is difficult to recreate in the modern era, and a frustrating weekend spent searching for used bookstores that can still compete with online retailers. If you're looking for your next read, I wrap things up by asking for your recommendations outside of fantasy.
