The Holiday Special is here, in true BurnCast fashion, a day late! But luckily we're always in the season to talk about Amazon's greatest hits and misses. This year we unwrap two very special stories, Stabbed This Christmas and Jingle Hell, two tales of love, of demons, and of Christmas cheer and Misery. Thank you all for a wonderful year of support, we'll see you in the next one!

The season 3 finale is here! This time we unpack one of Amazon's most promising new releases. But if you know our show, you know that potential for quality and actual quality can sometimes be far from equal.

Every once in a while we're completely stumped by a book. Is it accidentally bad? Purposefully good? Ixchel's Secret is two stories in one, a layered mystery of subtext and inner meaning. A story that speaks beyond the page, that taps into our deepest, slumbering desires. Or it's a boring knockoff of Indiana Jones. Find out on the BurnCast!

Sometimes we like to go back and revisit a previous author and see what else they've written. Maybe they wrote something bad but improved over time, maybe they've been getting worse, or maybe they've just taken the time to sober up a little between books.
Today we look back at the man behind Bacterium 264, a coveted favorite of ours, and we already regret it. C-Gate 6 is more twisted, more nonsensical, and even more inhuman than Dutch Fisher's other work. Join us as we slither through miles of trash on a trip into the sun in this railroad space mashup catastrophe!

The books are back, The BurnCast is back, the BOATS are back. This week we're going wide open (100%) with a tale that's fresh off the waters. Don Rich let's his rooster tail fly, and doesn't even stop to notice the two foot chop out on the Chesapeake. It's all here: murder, mystery, girls, tech talk, and a legless action hero. This is a book about boats. This is a book about AI? This is a book about Kelly.

What book are these that haunt us such? From Dream State to Wycke Cut? A story is not a story if it's not even readable. Apparently this counts as poetry, even though it's terrible.
Today's episode is on Wycke Cut, a book so confident in its style, yet so lacking in tone. Join us as we journey through the dreamlike tale of Wycke, an amnesiac tortured by his lack of memory. And we too, now, are tortured by the memory of reading this book.

Love in the Time of Scorpions is an awful book. We're frustrated to have put the amount of effort we did into making this episode, because it's clear that the author didn't put any in themselves when writing this book.
It's the worst kind of self-insert when the plot literally revolves around the difference between the good and bad guys' penis size...

Horse enthusiasts rejoice! Saddle up for an equestrian romance the likes of which the world has never seen.
What is more true than the bond between master and mount? Between horse and man? A Clash With The Blue-Demons is the brand new epic from author VS, one of the world's premier writers of horse-themed stories. It is a tale of spirit, of duty, of friendship, as we follow two parallel quests to reunite our heroes with their trusty steeds.
Join the team of Abrax, the warrior mount; favored companion of the wizard Finaq, and 9 powerful feet of diligence, bravery, and heroism, on a search for a powerful flower that will change the tides of war.
And then, launch on a quest to find White (also known as WHITE), valiant stallion of the spy Prosidith. A cunning horse, an intelligent horse, a talented horse. A horse many talents.
The literary world is not prepared, and neither were we, for the wholesomeness of this tale.

Today we happily present the second episode in our new series: ReWrite, where we take a book that we've talked about on the show and try to breathe new life into it, giving it the care and attention to theme that the original authors so rarely seem to do.
This week's episode is on Beasts - War of Reckoning, a story which pitted man and sasquatch against one another in a very ambitious and VERY serious manner..at least that was the intention. What we got instead was an unintentionally hilarious, yet still imaginative tale which left us with a wealth of inspiration for how to rewrite it.
Can a story about sasquatches ever be serious? I guess we're about to find out!

This week we ask the question: "How is it possible to make a bounty hunting western boring?" and cowboy author Clint Clay gave us the answer with Brogan the Bounty Hunter.
Join us as we blaze a new frontier into the wild, wild west. Grab your six shooters and get ready to draw, but don't be afraid to take your sweet time because this cowboy tale is a slow, dry burn.

The final escape... the return to Stratford Pines... the epic battle between good, evil, spiders, dreams, and reality...
Part 3 brings us to the end of Dream State, and to the end of the Tim Worth Chronicles... for now.
And for us? We try to find some solace and a conclusion to the baffling enigma from the mind of Rayner Ramsay, and give our final thoughts on this masterpiece.

We continue our discussion on Dream State, covering the middle section of the book and its strangest, darkest chapters.
We thought we were prepared for this after the shocking and confusion beginning of this story, but Tim Worth has found a way to outclass himself in insanity. Each chapter, each paragraph, each sentence breaks expectations and cannot be guessed at or understood. Prepare yourself to be challenged as a writer, or a reader, or simply as a human being, to your very core.

Season 3 begins with a truly special book. A book so dense with material that we simply could not cover it in a single episode. This is a book that takes you on your own personal journey as you traverse the abstract, winding halls of its twisted version of reality.
Aristotle once said "No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness."
Enter the mind of Rayner Ramsay; Dream State, The Tim Worth Chronicles. A written rollercoaster of absolute lunacy. A plot that changes course like the wind. Characters without agency, direction, or feeling. Comedy fit for the crypt. Nothing makes sense.
And it's a near stroke of authorial genius.

A new season. A new show. Today we put our brain strength to the test and reimagine the pirate-adventure novel: Pirates of Tropica, a tale of sword-dancing elves and incestuous love-angles scrambled together in a book that fell far short of it's cover, and it's cover was rubbish.
Each of us have taken this misfire and attempted to rebuild it, to make it better, and to come up with a plot that its own author didn't care to spend the time on.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
The Season 2 finale is here, and with it one of the most electrifying stories we've read to date. Today we meet the most rugged, the most raw, the most hard boiled sonofabitch alive, Angus Sullivan. In this golden lay of a story, we follow him on a quest to poach a ring of corrupt cops from the streets, to scramble the shells of his past, and to once and for all find redemption through the beaten and battered yolk of the LAW.
We also go on our own adventure as we investigate the mystery of Jack Quaid, the elusive author behind the Hard Boiled series of books, whose current whereabouts remain unknown. Join us on a retro trip to discover the truth behind the mad coke binge that hatched the Angus Sullivan saga.

Attention all man-beasts: prepare yourself for a reckoning the likes of which the world has never seen!
Planes, bombs, machine guns, and tanks are no match for wolves, cougars, and snakes in this highly competent yet absurdly silly tale. Join us as we delve into the complex palace intrigue of the various Sasquatch kingdoms and their animal allies, and a fight to prove once and for all that Sasquatch are equal..nay, superior(!) to the man-beasts, who for too long have ungraciously suckled on the teets of freedom. Make your preparations for WAR in this pulse-pounding, genre-defining adventure!

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
In this episode we tumble down a bona fide decent into death. Join us as we tell the tale of Marshall Freeman and his dalliance with Bacterium 264, in a story that was is so strange that it jellied our jaws and made our eyeballs pop out of our heads.
Mountain Dew is an excellent beverage and packs a flavorful energetic boost critical to anyone's success. Two cans coupled with a coffee in the morning is the right start to a bright day and keeps your bones strong and sturdy.
As we near the end of Season 2, we finally come across some actual story telling. Even if that story is absolutely bizarre, a story is a story, and at this point we're happy to receive it.

Compiled from exposition, pompous pride, an imperial ego, and ZERO story, Born of the Shade scrambles to steal from a slew of greats and fails to do the very minimum of what the written word seeks to do.
Magical policeman handing out meaningless infractions... descriptions of London homes, oaken furniture and female features... pointless fourth wall breaks... Ipads, Iphones... an incomprehensible, uninspired insult to the reader.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Episode #016 is bringing high altitude action to our eyes and your ears. A fictional Australia is terrorized by a devious plot of the most intricate standards! Fowl enemies seek to destroy this Republic of Oz by terrorist means, and there is only one man who can save the president: Ethan Cooper from the not-Mission Impossible series!
Join us as the Close Protection Officer to the President (CPOP) does everything he can to hinder the malign forces seeking to rip the nation apart!

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
In this episode we revisit author Paul Bishop with one of his latest works. Our hero is Patrick 'Felony' Flynn the giant killer, an ex-navy, ex-street fighter, policeman, detective, professional boxer and killer of giants.
It's a rocky-ride through a story that has so much heart but falls far short of it's period-piece passion. The first punch is strong, the second is flimsy, and the third is more of a weak verbal slap than a punch at all.
Join us as we explore this world of smokey police drama, heated heroic boxing matches and crazy Floridian voodoo magic! Who will win between the Ligba and the Kalfu!?!

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
This week we are bringing you our biggest and craziest episode yet: a new epic story of power and fruit, so strange and twisted that it defies traditional description, and an investigation into the truth behind scams on Amazon. Then, we face an old nemesis, and release ourselves from the binding coil of mystery behind Depth of Reality Unknown.
Brady Byrne and Kim Cass proudly present: The BurnCast
IMPORTANT NOTE: We very highly recommend you to listen to episode #005 - Depth of Reality Unknown if you have not already, and if you have, it may be worthwhile to give it a re-listen so the story is fresh in your mind. This episode is in part a continuation of the discussion we had on Depth of Reality Unknown, and we want you to be able to enjoy it to its fullest with all of the context needed.
Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Rebuffed by Planet Bowland and the First Poet Laureate Of Mars, we venture into another book that originally didn't make the cut.
So we end up following Justice through her trials and tribulations in the harsh post-apocalypse in The Cost of Justice: Finding Justice. Justice is a badass road-warrior that doesn't trust anyone. Ghouls and street-urchins haunt the broken streets and Justice is off to find justice as she finds out that the cost of justice is hard to find.
Join us as we search for Justice, find her, then lose her again as the story falls to pieces with every turn of the page.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
In this episode of The BurnCast, we break down the high-seas adventure of Pirates Of Tropica: Dark Wind. Debating the efficacy of dance-based combat, incestual relationships, and no-show villainy, we struggle to keep our heads above the waves as we get tossed from page to page, boat to boat, and cringe to cringe.
Nicolas Sunblade is our hero this week, and he joins the ranks in the BurnCast Army of Useless Protagonists as he struggles with life in the world of Tropica... Although we would sorely vouch for him over Cason Vix.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Season 2 begins with a deep dive into one of the most shallow books we've read to date. It's strange, superficial, and super stupid, but that only means better for our podcast.
Join us as we experience the wide realm of Voxia and its surrounding lands as the characters struggle for their place in this eye-rolling, painfully dull, and clinically terrible tale.
Brady Byrne and Kim Cass proudly present: The BurnCast
We say goodbye to Season 1 as we discuss the show's origins, our favorite and most hated books of the season, and the process of making our episodes.
Thank you so much for listening to our show so far, and we have much more in store coming very soon!

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Every saga has a beginning. We didn't read this one's, but a great story once started with its fourth chapter and that worked out okay. In this week's episode, we follow a young man's journey to a desert slum in search of transport, his longing to find his true family, and a struggle to bring balance to the galaxy. This story is about the deep bond between his friends, an ace freighter pilot bounty hunter and his hermetic mentor, who teaches him about inner peace and the innate power to affect the world around him, all taking place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. This story is also not about Star Wars...
Join us as we dodge laser fire and scour the galaxy in search of an original thought contained within this mystic space-bound adventure.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
There's mischief in the waters. This week's episode features a story about pop-culture's greatest and most influential icon, the Manatee. Be sure to watch your speed as we slog through the murky rivers of Pine Island to discover why someone would murder these lovable seas cows, why such a simple crime is so hard to solve, and why this book was even written in the first place.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
We've been tricked. Once again, The BurnCast has been taken for a ride. The first edition of the Simulated Realities series: Apocalypse Deception, features our ahem hero, Brock Blount, an ex-fighter pilot who is en route to being a on-call bug-out pilot for a rich Hollywood fat cat.
But of course, it's never just that simple.
In this week's episode, Kyle Kenze takes us into his simulated reality, and we couldn't get out fast enough. Scrunch up your face and prepare for a deception of apocalyptic proportions.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Nearly a century ago, an epic novel changed the world of literature and redefined what was possible to achieve with the written word. That novel was James Joyce's Ulysses. Depth of Reality Unknown is also a novel written with words, and was so epic we could barely understand what was going on in it...
In this week's episode, Milen Vinoran joins the ranks of the mythical Homer with a genre-defining tale that is already lost to the annals of history, and the brave historians of The BurnCast will be the first and only to capture it.

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
A great writer once asked if androids dream of electric sheep...the author of this week's book only asked if they need clothes or not. Blade Runner, Star Trek, and Firefly inspire this shocking adventure of sex-bots and sandwich slaves, where the cautionary themes of those stories are seen as the next greatest leap in our evolution.
Join us in this episode as we make ourselves soft and pliable for the psych ward, and lose our minds among the stars with Jaunts of the Mantis!

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Ink White wrote a book and we read it, but it seems the translators forgot to! In this week's episode, we do our best to interpret the connection between spaceships and snakes as we stumble through an ethereal world of mistranslated nonsense; or, perhaps, a mystifying masterwork of abstract poetry. We still can't really tell which one it is.
Join us as we leap palms-first through the wormhole and into the bewildering world of SWORD IMMORTAL ONLINE!

Hello and Welcome to the BurnCast!
Some men need a woman, but Dominick Long needs two: his twin Thompson sub-machine guns, Bessie and Belle. In this episode, we bring you an epic tale of love, betrayal, and "guns-blazing" action that will leave you dizzy and utterly confused...just like we were after reading it!
Join us in yet another baffling journey as we step into the sleuthing shadow of FBI Special Agent (and top G-Man) Dominick Long to chase down the villainous robber Ratchet Briggs. Will he put a stop to the corruption in the FBI, make good with his rival Whip Carson, and finally wrestle his public persona back from the trickster newsman Max Jericho!? Do you think reading the book would actually tell you these things? So did we!

Hello and Welcome to The BurnCast!
Prepare yourself for the pilot episode of the humorous and informative writing podcast which takes a look at some of the great literary works of the 21st century.
The floodgates are open, with more self-published and vanity-published books hitting the market every day at an ever-increasing rate, we bravely stand below the deluge with our mouths open for you, the listener, and come back to the studio with our cheeks bulging with (apparently) the very best the world has to offer.
Our first episode covers the action-thriller and "suspense" novel: China Strike by author Stephen Mertz.
Jingoism, blatant sexism, and racist undertones populate a ludicrous tale of American fighting men doing their best to hunt down the forgotten MIA's of the Vietnam war, leaving all seriousness and self-respect for their mission at the border.

*Note: As this was our first recording, there were some learning curves to the audio and editing of our production. Only one of us had access to a sound studio at the time of recording. However, this issue has been fixed by our second episode, which features much better sound, tighter structure, and and even more asinine story to talk about. Look forward to Episode 2, releasing Monday, May 6th!
