Dave is back in Derry & Toms as we finally turn our attention to Karl Edward Wagner and his towering dark fantasy anti-hero… Kane!
We’ve been talking about doing some KEW for a while now, so what better time than a grim, miserable Yorkshire winter to tackle a chilly werewolf whodunnit. The story, Reflections for the Winter of My Soul, is the first of three in the collection Death Angel’s Shadow, and we’ll be back at some point in the future to look at the other two.
As KEW also wrote an Elric/Kane crossover story called The Gothic Touch, we took a look at that too.
Dave’s band SÖNUS will release the first single from their new album on 14th February – Pagan Woman – and in the meantime you can join the countdown to the video and pre-save the single.
New album Planes of Torment will follow in May and we’ll keep you up to date on that too.
Great discussion guys. First time listener, enjoyed the show. Totally awesome story to begin your Kane journey with. This is my second favorite Kane story, and the following “Cold Light” is my third. I’d love to see this in film. I agree it is a terrific who-done-it, though my only nit is that it takes Kane far too long to identify the culprit. I attribute it to his lingering fugue from the storm and pursuit.
Anyway, thought I’d mention I just watched “The Beast must Die,” thank you very much, quite fun.
