Michael, Ethan, and special guest Nick continue their discussion of The Devil and the Dark Water, by Stuart Turton, while two of the three of them drink Benriach distilliery’s The Twelve.

In this episode:

Michael does an unfair thought experiment, but at least it has a key

After an initial pledge not to discuss morality, most of the episode is about morality

Digression into D&D alignment types, obviously

Having ground his Lawful Neutral axe hard, Ethan also goes into his obsession with Victorian follys. Ugh

Ethan solves the genre mystery, thereby solving this series pair of episodes

Spoilers for Mysteries of Udolpho, but you’ve had over 200 years to read that one

Yet another entry in our series Fun With the Reading Group Guide!

Michael finally admits that Ethan is very clever

Nevertheless, Ethan mispronounces Chigozie Obioma’s last name right at the end, sorry
