Modern Mythos - ep.44

Modern Mythos with Jon & Seth

Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, Adam "Bucho" Rodenberger, and his new book, Under a Black Rainbow.

The worlds within Under a Black Rainbow oozes with all of our irrational thoughts and collective fears, pooling them up together in slickery shine and gives them both a voice and an unforgettable form. The underside of this particular rainbow is where the absurdity of Kafka, the dark fairy tales of Guillermo del Toro, and the surrealism of David Lynch all crash together into a single, looming nightmare of differing shades. Each story uses a gnarled hand to scrape out the blackest part of each reader and then gleefully holds up the tar-like ichor for closer examination.

The eighteen stories found within are mental and emotional excavations of fractured traumas, the awakening of unique pleasures, and the moments where we come face to face with the hungry voices whispering to us from the dark. You can find Under a Black Rainbow on Amazon.
