“And if it’s around October 20th and everything smoky-smelling and the sky orange and ash grey at twilight, it seems Hallowe’en will never come in a fall of broomsticks and a soft flap of bedsheets around corners. But one strange wild dark long year, Hallowe’en came early.”
With Danse Macabre, The Losers’ Club journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in his 1981 horror manifesto Danse Macabre; hence the name of this series.) In the past, the Losers have left King’s Dominion to flip through the pages of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.
Today, the gang finds themselves deep within the local library of Green Town, Illinois, where they’re revisiting Ray Bradbury‘s 1962 dark fantasy novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes. Join Dan Caffrey, Rachel Reeves, Mel Kassel, and Michael Roffman as they praise Bradbury’s autumnal prose, derail into Gene Kelly tangents, and connect the dots to King’s Dominion.
It’s an episode as cozy as Bradbury’s Midwestern utopia, and one that demands a hot cup of cider and a moon glazed window. Catch it below! For further adventures, be sure to join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock hundreds of hours of content in The Barrens (Patreon).
