Death Angel's Shadow - Part Two

About this episode

Dave concludes the coverage of the 1973 anthology Death Angel's Shadow, discussing its themes and stories.

Dave returns to Derry & Toms to conclude our coverage of the 1973 Karl Edward Wagner anthology Death Angel's Shadow, featuring his anti-hero Kane. Some great stuff in here, but some rough stuff too, with references to sexual assault, so please beware that we will discuss it in both the original context, as we see it, and that of a modern reader. Two stories round out our journey with this Kane book, Cold Light and Mirage. Check out Dave's latest trip with SÖNUS, the single Sisyphus Stomp - the video is on YouTube - and you can pre-order new album The Planes of Torment (release date May 22nd).
