WE'RE BACK ON THE DRAGONS! It's our return for a final victory lap of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin (at least until The Winds of Winter comes out). Revel! In the sight of a grown admiral acting like an angry teenager. Gasp! At the wince-enducing cruelty of negligent pirates. And chortle! At the apparent presence of early 90's hip comedy staples in the otherwise bleak wastes of Westeros. As ever, get in touch with your thoughts on the book, the characters or the podcast - @sharkliveroil on Twitter, or [email protected].

It's the thrilling climax of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of The Baskervilles. Gasp! As Sherlock Holmes uses a knight of the realm as bait in his plot to catch a murderer. Scream! As the scary hound from the depths of hell bounds across the moors. Cheer! As Dr Watson celebrates the death of someone who "basically had it coming to him." And then there's the arrival of Lestrade and his bottle of magic brandy. To the moors!!!!! Get your feedback to us at [email protected] or find us on twitter @sharkliveroil

Welcome to part 4 of Shark Liver Oil's journey through A Dance With Dragons. We check in with Davos during his ill advised diplomatic mission to White Harbour, we encounter the stone men as part of Tyrion's Big Gap Year Boat Trip Adventure, Theon/ Reek visits a new contender for "Most Miserable Place in Westeros" and problems continue to pile up for both Jon and Dany.

Welcome to part 3 of our rollocking good romp through A Dance With Dragons.

The second part of Shark Liver Oil's page by page guide to George RR Martin's Dance With Dragons says hello to a pole-boat load of new characters, welcomes back some old favourites and fetches the chopping block for one of its enemies. Get ready to meet Griff, Halfmaester Haldon, as-yet-unnamed-purple-haired-boy, Sexy Septa and of course the worst named knight in the seven kingdoms and beyond: Ser Duck. We also say "hello old friend" to Davos Seaworth. However, considering we learned in Feast For Crows that he's to have his head on a spike at White Harbour in the not so distant future, we fear he won't be around for long. What? That's not a spoiler! When is a spoiler not a spoiler? When the author's written it into a previous book, thats when!!

WE'RE BACK! As dragon returns to its recently-charred livestock, so we return to A Song of Ice and Fire, and it's good to be back on the dragon wagon. This week, we've got the return - with a bump - of all the characters you missed during A Feast for Crows, which means Jon Snow! In the snow! Tyrion Lannister! In a barrel! And Danaerys Targaryen! In a surprisingly complex political and cultural quandary! Yes, ASOIAF is still the smartest gig in fantasy, and we are still running to keep up, telling fart gags all the way. This week featuring extra Desmond Tutu. As ever, get in touch with us on @sharkliveroil or via email [email protected], and let us know what you think of the book!

ooooOOOOOOooooh - it's a scary Shark cage special this week, as we do an all-in-one take on Stephen King's classic novella The Mist. This is weather at it's most bad-assed, containing not only chills but acid spiders, unhinged old ladies and ravenous tentacles. Surely, it's nothing to do with the mysterious government project up on the hill. Surely.
