a message from Tom! // in the spirit of Halloween, here's one of my favorite books I've ever recorded, called Nursery Rhymes for Children of Darkness, written by Gladys Oaks way back in I think 1928. I know almost nothing about her except that she gained some small notoriety for a hot af poem called "Climax" (in the book!) and that she also published in The Liberator; this book is fun in no small part because it's a hella subversive rewriting of a bunch of biblical touchstones (the first poem is about Judas and there's a big one about Mary Magdalene) through what basically seem like Satanist fairytale poems. hope you enjoy it! :) //
