Welcome to our first podcast episode exploring which books belong in the canon of speculative fiction!

  1. Reviews two grimdark novels, one old and one new;

  2. Discusses the controversy between noblebright and grimdark; and

  3. Explores whether, perhaps, we just might have it all wrong.

Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d truly love your help in this canon endeavor!
