Howdy folks! This week I'm pleased to announce KM Hirosaki's return to the Book Club. As you remember, he was kind enough to start us off way back in episode one, and it's always a treat to feature some of his work. See you all next week when Toon...
Toonces is back in town! Yes, we are a couple of days late this week, but it's for a good reason; Toonces and his boyfriend drove down for a visit so we were able to record in person. We have a good disucssion of Rechan's "Fireworks" and touch on ...
Howdy folks! We're back for episode 17a (good lord!) of the Bad Dog Book Club, and we're pleased to present Rechan's story "Fireworks", read for us by the ever talented Sparf. Rechan is making his BDBC debut, and if you enjoy the story be sure to ...
We do our first long distance episode this week. I'm still in Maryland, and Toonces is now in Pennsylvania for the next few months. There is some hiss on the recording, but it's not too bad, and it'll be gone by the next time. I think we wax about...
Howdy folks! This week we're happy to introduce a new reader, Sorin, and a new writer to the podcast, Foozzzball. Foozzzball's work has appeared in numerous publications, most recently Heat, and we're excited to have one of his stories! Enjoy the ...
Welcome to the special earthquake and hurricane episode of the Bad Dog Book Club! Toonces and I made it through things just fine, as they weren't too bad, but we decided better safe than sorry. This episode's a doozy, 50 minutes, and I have proble...
Well I'm pretty pleased to have a story by Elf here as he was a contributing factor in leading me down the furry path of doom. "Distracting Aaden" comes from his long running saga, The Journal Entries of Kennet R'yal Shardik and it also happens to...
We have a sort-of special, sort-of sloppy, off-the-cuff sort of show for you today. Let this episode be a testament to the work Skip puts into this show and just how much he puts up with me. Nearly a week late, and unedited (I'm computer illiterat...
This week's story sees the Book Club's first returning author, and we've very happy to have another work by Alfor to share with you. After his last gripping horror story, AlfIor thought it might be nice to give us something a bit more... 'porny' t...
In which Toonces and Skip discuss "Friday's Child is Loving and Giving" by Adres Cyani Halden from the new anthology The Fortune Teller's Poem published in 2011 by FurPlanet. If you enjoyed the story, you can purchase it directly from FurPlanet. T...
Today's reading comes from Andres Cyanni Halden, from the new anthology The Fortune Teller's Poem, published by FurPlanet and featuring the work of Teiran, Foozzball, Whyte Yot??, D.J. Fahl, Andres Cyanni Halden, K.M. Hirosaki and Kyell Gold. Molly...
The night has its special properties, of course. For as long as literature has been written the darkness has been a time for plotting schemes and raising trouble. If you're a werewolf, and the moon is full, this is especially true. cubetriangle ha...
Many thanks to cubetriangle for the story and to Sparf for the reading! She dropped the whiskey in and slurped the ghastly mixture. The shot glass slid through the bourbon-sweet beer and clicked gently against her teeth. All gone and the moon outs...
Okay everybody, we had a good time talking about dongers and hoohahs and what have you, but now it's time to remember that we're all going to die and there's not a damn thing any of us is going to do about it, and if you can't deal with it, just g...
Much appreciation to Not Tube for providing this week's story! MatinsNewberg's eyes cracked open to the sound of bells. He had no alarm clock; many years ago his need for one had vanished. He had begun waking just a few seconds before it went off,...
Jinxtigr serves up a sinful story of high-stakes lust and Skip gets a little emotional about it being our tenth show. Toonces is a little unnerved by the book club's first hetero story, but as always, there is always real estate for diplomatic rel...
Much appreciation to Jinxtigr for providing this week's story! By the time Daucery was done with Boodins, everybody in the Cathouse was up. She didn???t hurry him, which was surprising- but she explained that she liked to take time for herself, too....
Rahne Kallon serves up a generous portion of pulpy goodness for this week's meeting so hot it had Skip driving distracted. There is a certain playfulness with stereotypes and expectations, and a dalmatian discovers that there's a good reason for f...
Thank you to Rahne for this week's story, and for contributing a voice to the audiobook as well! Jerry sat in the Student Union, waiting. His eyes drifted between the clock on the wall and the door of university's local gay club. 7:28 PM; two more...
John "The Gneech" Robey gives us a thrilling mystery to discuss for this week's show. Squash and Stretch, a pair of private dicks low on their luck, find a juicy case when a mink comes into the office, followed close on the heels by a nosy rat. Mu...
This week's story comes courtesy of John "The Gneech" Robey from Roar 3, which is available now! From the Casebooks of Squash and Stretch, Private Investigators One. It was a dark night in the cold city. It was also a cold night in the dark city. ...
We've got a pair of surreal stories to discuss, today. Sedric's "Chitchester Gap" presents a fantasy scenario, a public seduction by a doppelganger minus the goatee. And "Vignette from the Highway" by Lycanthromancer presents a symbolic, even cryp...
The term fantasy is flexible. A person can fantasize about an ice cream cone or about an alien landscape, something anywhere between arm's reach and infinite light years away. It can refer to something as benign as the elusive or as striking as th...
For the first time in the history of the book club, we have a guest host with us this week. Jay1743, as he goes by on FA, joined us in the studio - on the futon in my eight foot by eight foot room on the outskirts of DC - to discuss Alflor's distu...
A journey into the unknown naturally raises questions, highlights doubts, stirs concerns, whatever. It's not always the fear of what's to be found on the other side that stresses you, but on what's in between. Travel has long been a symbol of esca...
As we continue further through the various meta-layers of fantasy involved with idealized stories about fake things, usually acted out in mediums that alter reality in their own ways, we get to the Bright Beach. It's easy to say that the Bright Be...
It's when the darkness seems most severe that the storm clouds start to part and the sun starts to glimmer over the landscape. It's a scene not uncommon to literature, one that may have provided the opening image for thousands of unpublished works...
Some of the best stories are simulations of the more sinful desires, and BDSM certainly falls into this category. While Whyte Yote offers up a story that is absent of the bondage or sado-masochistic aspects, he creates a story with a starkly defin...
There's a certain thrill in the development and polarization of power roles. Yeah, you don't want to let Foucault infect everything you think, but when one guy's seated in a throne and another's on his knees, it makes things easy to understand. Es...
Maybe it's about time Skip and I come clean about something-You see, we're- we're robots. We were programmed by Alex Vance to run the book club arm of his furry publishing empire. And while we hope you won't hold our lack of souls against us, it d...
