    In this episode, the Delapore Media Podcast continues to explore the setting of Brian McNaughton's The Throne of Bones. I examine four of McNaughton's sword and sorcery tales: "Ringard & Dendra," "The Vendren Worm," "Meryphillia," and "Reunion in Cephalune." I discuss their themes of star-crossed love, identity, and cruel irony as well as McNaughton's meticulous world-building practices.

    All this, and the spokesman and disc jockey who refuses to leave me in peace...

  • Necrophiliac Pixie Dream Girls & Other Feminist Horrors in Brian McNaughton's "The Throne of Bones"

    Necrophiliac Pixie Dream Girls & Other Feminist Horrors in Brian McNaughton's "The Throne of Bones"
    Sep 7 2026

    In this episode, the Delapore Media Podcast takes a lonely walk through a ghoul-haunted necropolis in Brian McNaughton's "The Throne of Bones," the titular story of an award-winning weird fantasy collection full of necrophagy, amoral lust, uncertain identities, and imperial decay. I'll explore how McNaughton negotiated the worlds of pornography and horror to pay his bills and how this is reflected in his writing, which often highlights masculine anxieties about women's sexuality. Additionally, I'll examine the author's world-building practices and see what we can draw upon to texture our own empires of corroded sword and sorcery in literature and TTRPGs.

    All this, and some harsh lessons about advertising...

    To leave comments and opinions about this episode or ask questions, join the Delapore Media Patreon for free. In this episode, The Delapore Media Podcast comes full circle as I return to the topic of what it takes to be a contemporary Lovecraftian. I also begin my exploration of a book I have been wanting to read since I started this podcast: Bobby Derie's Sex and the Cthulhu Mythos. What results is a discussion of Lovecraft's masculinity, his social life in New York, the heartbreak of a poet, and the horrors that happen behind closed doors. All this, and an unexpected package...
