PLEASE BE AWARE: THERE IS SOME VIOLENT CONTENT AROUND THE 21 MINUTE MARK It’s been a difficult day for the podcast. All I wanted to do is read out from a book I wrote over 15 years ago, and then deep-dive analyse the chapter afterwards. However, characters from my past and have resurfaced and have taken control of the podcast. Due to being overwhelmed with work and not having the time to rerecord everything, this is the result. Sorry. What should have been an exploration of three chapters that mark our two main characters’ mental preparations for an upcoming invasion (in 1918, of course) has become something that is quite unlistenable. OG Daniel’s Nemesis is still around, and now so is new kid on the block, Ginger. There is at least some analysis that can be occasionally heard. Yes, it’s a surreal book. But the podcast should not be surreal. At least the chapters themselves have not been messed with. And there’s three of them today in this Bumper Pack Family Sized edition. There’s A Goodnight Story from Willam, Ginger Parties, and then William Dreams. I think the entire plot has been revealed in just those chapter titles. Still don’t know what all of this is? XBook is a novel that I wrote when I was in my late teens and early 20’s. Over many, many rewrites it turned from a simple story of aliens invading the Earth at the end of the First World War into a surrealist clash of science fiction and nightmarish dreamscapes. It never got published. Thank God for the Internet, otherwise, there would be no other way to release this story to the masses. 03:19 - Chapter 12: A Goodnight Story From William 10:24 - Chapter 13: Ginger Parties 18:58 - Chapter 14 William Dreams 21:47 - General Notes 32:16 - Psychologist’s Chair What are your thoughts on this and previous chapters?
