Listen to the Episode:
So it begins. The REIGN of Books Podcast ep. 1 explores an atypical story of a boy and girl, fighting against an ancient evil that pays a visit to the English countryside. Unlikely events bring them together and the boy discovers a new reality on the edges of our own. What lies there follows him back to our world.

Wait. You guys don’t know of classic sci fi that was written by women? Dude. URSULA K. LEGUIN, one of the most famous writers of her time and a contemporary and friend of Philip K. Dick, wrote several sci-fi classics, including THE LATHE OF HEAVEN and THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS. If you haven’t read THE LATHE OF HEAVEN, I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the recommendations. “The Lathe of Heaven” and the “The Left Hand of Darkness” both look to be extremely interesting studies into the human condition. I’m sure if we read “Darkness” there will be plenty of jokes about “Winter is Coming”!
