  • Episode 85: Tales From the Cryptaceous

    Raptor Red

    Chapters: Flood and Panzers! — Famine and the Wing Shadow


    According to Robert Baker; that which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as rotting meat and shit. In this episode the Readers let their ignorance of prehistoric plant life blossom into an fragrant foot-in-mouth bloom. Don’t miss Doug asking questions he’s too lazy to seek out and answer himself! See Robb take more notes and carry his cohost thorough another nearly hour long episode of Death Readers!

    Raptor Red

    Preface - Chapter The Turtle of Trinity

    It’s a Death Readers first! A book Robb’s never read! Raptor Red is the story of a young female raptor surviving the Cretaceous period as told from her perspective. The Death Readers treat Robert T. Backer’s Raptor Red like the third in a makeshift Jurassic Park Trilogy because there’s no such thing as too many dinosaurs!

Doug had never read the Harry Potter books. Robb has read them many times. Together they went through the books to see if the magic was still there.
