About this episode

The episode discusses whether Franz Kafka can be considered a 'Poster' with guest Jon Greenaway.

Recorded during the height of the most recent heatwave, Jon from Horror Vanguard joins us to finally decide if Franz Kafka was a Poster. A German-speaking Czech Jewish man born in Prague, which at the time was part of the Empire of Austria-Hungary, Kafka is well-regarded as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century literature, producing novellas, novels and short stories, almost all of which he burned or instructed to be burnt after his death. But is that enough to make him a Poster?
