Episode 60 - Psychic Vampires, Dialectical Materialism as Magic, Socialist Journalism. Entering China Miéville's Bas Lag World w/ Horror Vanguard

Happy Halloween everyone! Once again, for our special October episodes, we have summoned the illustrious ghosts, or should I say hosts! Of the Horror Vanguard! Jon and Ash join me to chat about China Miéville's Perdido Street Station! It was a wonderful chat about fascist regimes, aesthetics, the politization of art, resistance and class struggle, socialist journalism and the immense power of Dialectical Materialism. We hope you enjoy lsitening just as much as we enjoyed reading and chatting about it!
