Episode Twenty-Eight - The Eyes of the Dragon w/Isaac Thorne (Author of Hell Spring, The Gordon Place)

Isaac Thorne is a man with a serious imagination. Hell Spring, his most recent novel contains (amongst much else) a killer Marilyn Monroe, cataclysmic floods, self-mutilation, time travel and monstrous phalluses. Who better to investigate one of King's more off-kilter, leftfield novels, the fantasy epic The Eyes of the Dragon? We discuss this charming anomaly's place in the King canon, which features some of his most complex, interesting and well drawn characters, as well as the dangers of writing genre fiction and not having it seem overplayed.

Thanks to Isaac for coming on, Hell Spring can be found here, and is definitely worth your time. 

Tech wizardry by SLP, thanks as always.
