“Looks like his pecker was blowed off, Lydell.”

Join hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs as they team up with film writer and podcast stalwart Stephanie Crawford for a journey down to Dasharoons, an idyllic Arkansas estate where you can expect scenic sunsets, Creole dishes and the occasional testicle explosion. That's right - for our annual October horror read, we delved into the pages of All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By, a lyrical and trashy epic of 70's genre fiction written by John Farris!

This southern gothic gets going quickly and doesn't stop barreling down its dark and twisted hill. A groom runs amok and slashes family members with a ceremonial saber at his own military academy wedding. A fingernail-less detective investigates a series of inexplicable lightning bombs. A traumatized WWII soldier might be possessed by the spirit of his decapitated father. Somehow it all involves magical vengeance and an ambidextrous Voodoo rainbow serpent-goddess (could it be otherwise?) It's all Crawford and our hosts can do to keep their heads above the putrid water of this book's strange, fascinating, tawdry world.
