• 07: Greg Reads Kill And Cure
    Nov 3 2023

    Something a little different this time out... I read to you. A nice bedtime story? Maybe not. It's the opening chapter to my second novel, Kill And Cure.

    You can find links to all my published works via the Link Tree below:

    This opening chapter is named, Under New Management, and it's a difficult situation as a gangster comes face to face with a genuine, honest to goodness vampire.


    As always, please also check out the incredible works of friends of the show, Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Adrien Lopez. In particular, please do get into Werewolf The Podcast if you haven't already, it's become quite huge, and both Adrian and myself have had the good fortune to appear in a number of episodes playing the parts of various characters.

    4: The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice

  • EP03: Werewolves at the Movies
    Aug 2 2023

    SPOLER ALERT. This episode contains spoilers about the five films we discuss. I've listed them below for your protection, so if you haven't seen the below movies, it's up to you whether you do so before listening to this podcast.

    That said, these are all such brilliant films that you may watch them over and over, and enjoy them all the more each time, so maybe the spoilers here don't really spoil, rather they compliment and potentially enhance. I'll allow you to decide (what else can I do, after all), and you have all the information you need... here are the movies!

    1: The Wolf Man, 1941

    2: Curse of the Werewolf, 1961

    3: The Howling, 1981

    4: An American Werewolf in London, (also) 1981

    5: Dog Soldiers, 2002
