The Left Page & Here Be MediaEpisode 24 - Blood and Revolution. Werewolves among the Paris CommuneAnd once again, we are back! Chaos ensued for a bit, and my (Frank's) personal life got... intensely jumbled, but oh well. Here we are again, with a packed episode and an incredible collab with Roy from the Marxist Poetry Podcast!! CW for sexual assault, abuse, pedophilia and a lot of gore. We talk in this episode about Guy Endore's 1933 novel The Werewolf of Paris! An incredible and very intricate gothic story about violence, death, curses, and all set in the Paris Commune! Definitely a packed show, and hopefully a fun one at that! 2020-09-211h 35
