S5E128 -Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Eight: The Demon-Haunted World!

On NIGHT'S MASTER and the Flat Earth series by Tanith Lee

The second episode we've done this season confirming a flat world is VERY different from Terry Pratchett, as we delve into the deserve-to-be-better known works of Tanith Lee, which are recently getting more attention for unfortunate reasons (she was a clear influence on a certain famed fantasy writer who's been accused of some troubling allegations, which we discuss in the episode). Lee's mythopoetic fables recall Lord Dunsany and form a fascinating mosaic centered around a devil...for whom you might emerge with a bit of sympathy?
