Happy Holidays, fellow vampires! The CreatureCast is joined once again by horror writer David X. Wiggin as we discuss the horror work of seminal comic book writer Alan Moore.
This week on the Creature Cast:
- Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Watchmen, and the Iron Age of comics.
- Swamp Thing, the reimagining of a monster, and Splatterpunk-era horror.
- From Hell, violent British history, and how Jack the Ripper ushered in the 20th century
- Providence, NeoNomicon, The Courtyard, and why Alan Moore is both the ideal torchbearer and critic of Lovecraft’s mythology
- Magick, Aleister Crowley, Harry Potter, and Moore’s occult philosophy.
- And, yes, we discuss the often thorny issue of sexual assault in Moore’s work.
And more! Email us at CreatureCastSF@gmail.com, find us on all the usual social media outlets, and check out David’s phenomenal analysis of Providence at http://davidxwiggin.livejournal.com/
