Gather round, children, for the story of one of the coolest ladies in literary history.   Zora Neale Hurston was born with a thirst for adventure and the confidence to conquer the world, even though at the start of the 1900s, to be both black and a woman seemed a formidable barrier to overcome.   But it didn’t take long for her to make her mark on the world as both a writer during the Harlem Renaissance (her most popular novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God), and an anthropologist, studying hoodoo and conjure all over the southern United States and the West Indies.   In fact, her life is so full of drama and adventure that this episode quickly turned into a two parter, so enjoy part one where Hannah and Tyler talk about Hurston’s early years (including a parent who might go down in BL&L infamy), her entrance on the writing scene, and initial anthropology expeditions.

"Alice in Wonderland" is one of the most-loved children's books of all time, but how much do you know about its creator, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (AKA Lewis Carroll)? As it turns out, a big part of Carroll's life is so embroiled in controversy that Tyler didn't even have to make up a conspiracy theory about the author.  Hannah read: "The Mystery of Lewis Carroll" by Jenny Wolff Tyler read: "The Story of Alice: Lewis Carroll and the Secret History of Wonderland" by Robert Douglas-Fairhurst Thank you to Jake Bassen for our theme song: https://soundcloud.com/jakebassen As well as Cam Clawson, for our Correspondence Remix: https://soundcloud.com/camclawson7 Follow us on Instagram: @lewisandlovecraft @twclawson_pdx @thehannahray Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LewisandLovecraft/ Website: https://lewislovecraft.weebly.com/ Email: [email protected]

Aaron Hurst: Field of Trees  A note from the author: Fun facts... First, I wrote Tick Tick around five years ago. A Field of Trees is the first story I've written since Tick Tick, and I am happy to have written this new one for BL&L. Thank you, for the first time ever I kept a new years resolution. Please give thanks to my Glittery Space Angel of a wife for being my editor. Also, more fun facts... I lived on a Christmas tree farm for a few years as a teenager. I'll stand by these claims until sense is made of them or I die. I really saw a shadowy figure in the road one night, I really saw a crouched figure among the trees though only once, and I really did hear voices everytime I took a walk. I heard and saw many strange things out there.   Read by Carter Micheal of Fables.

If Mary Shelley's life were a book, you'd put it down because it sounds too dramatic and tragic to be believable. By her mid-20s, the creator of "Frankenstein" had run off with a poet, been disowned by her family, lost four children, published a literary masterpiece, and been widowed. Tyler and Hannah spend far too much time ragging on Mary's husband, and Tyler has quite the theory about the deeper meaning behind "Frankenstein."
