https://www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke Reality is under attack! Chaos
reigns in an unnamed capital city where unwholesome apparitions
exist among the besieged citizens, projected by apparatuses
invented by magician/mad scientist Dr. Hoffman which modify the
nature of reality itself. The city's last hope is to send a
Ministry of Determination clerk on a picaresque journey to
assassinate the doctor and destroy his device, a mission that will
involve river cannibals, Sadeian pilgrims, religious centaurs and
anatomical acrobats. This is the world of The Infernal Desire
Machines of Doctor Hoffman, written by the inimitable Angela
Carter. Joining hosts Martin Kessler and John Cribbs to travel
Carter's mythological landscape of desire is Melanie Daniels,
producer and co-host of the Cinema Parlor Podcast. Together they
attempt to traverse this almost indefinable, orgiastic blend of
romanticism, horror, fantasy, surrealism, magical realism,
philosophy, science fiction, Gulliver, Kafka and Conrad from one of
the most unique voices in English literature. Melanie Daniels on
