We start the episode off by talking money! More specifically, what greedy things we would do if we suddenly acquired one billion dollars.
After that, we talk about the top horror books you should read. We cover a few lists and give some of our recommendations.
IRC #12: Oblivion Part Three – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
Today's episode discusses two more stories in Oblivion: Stories by David Foster Wallace. First, we read and discuss his deeply disturbing flash fiction story, Incarnation of Burned Children. This one comes with a trigger warning as the imagery and subject matter are incredibly traumatic.
The second story, Another Pioneer, offers a meditation on storytelling, knowledge, self-consciousness, societal evolution, and societal destruction. We cover this complex story and touch upon post-modernism, AI, the burden of knowledge, the breakdown of society, and many, many other things.
This might just be our favorite episode of this series!
Drunken Pen Writing 
Wait, wait, wait… I’m hoping you had the decency to include the masterpiece House of Leaves in this list.

I wonder if PENPAL was written in the “good ol days”? I know I read it on a “50 Best Horror Novels” back in 2013, so maybe it’s older and better than first assumed? Idk… I have no experience with this book lol
