How to Succeed in Evil--Original Podcast Episodes are best thought of as notes and sketches for the novel length work How to Succeed in Evil:The Novel also available on podiobooks.com.

A biting satire of both modern business and the conventions of the superhero genre. This is new content, distinct from the original podcast episodes that have been up on podiobooks since 2006.

Death blows. In between is worse.

It's Edwin versus Nosferatu in this insightful satire of the highly exploited vampire genre.
