đď¸ Two gay best friends deep-dive into science fiction and fantasy books. Read along, relive the classics, or just listen for fun đ˛đ¨đťđŞ
Everybodyâs talking about @caroclaireburke âs #YESTERYEAR and we needed to know why.
So itâs time for a big departure on DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE as your hosts are diving deep into Caro Claire Burkeâs brilliant new novel Yesteryear, which is admittedlyâŚnot really sci-fi or fantasy, but is legitimately an incredible, intelligent, and wildly unexpected read.
Hereâs the scoop: Natalie Heller Mills is the plastered-on smile behind a popular tradwife Instagram account whose perfect facade is beginning to crumble⌠especially when she wakes up in the 1850s during the era she properties to idolize.
Itâs thorny, itâs funny, itâs incredibly dark, surprisingly moving, and sharply written.
(And, yes, Anne Hathaway will be playing her in a movie)
NEXT WEEK:
The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee: Chapters 1-13

Your hosts couldnât be more thrilled to be back in this world, and the pages are breezing by like stars in asymmetrical space.
But first...Itâs a huge week for the pod as William and Jacob experience their first online hate. They couldnât love their antagonist more, and they hope he continues to waste his time listening to them! All that plus impressions of the new hit movie Mother Mary and the video game PRAGMATA.

Get ready to give your safe word, because DDDSpod is diving into Jacqueline Careyâs 2001 BDSM historical fantasy masterpiece, Kushielâs Dart.

But firstâTaylor Frankie Paul eats up more oxygen and both hosts wonder how bookstagrammers can keep track of their expectations.
NEXT WEEK: Chapters 21-60 of Kushielâs Dart

At long last, @dddspod is finally finishing itâs year-long read of the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
There are a lot of pages and characters in this book! Aelin is trapped in a box, Lysandra is cosplaying as the heir of fire without any of the fire magic, Dorian is trying to learn how to shape shift, Manon is uniting the witch tribes, and many, many other characters kill time as we await any meaningful resolution to come in part two.
But first, Jacob and William celebrate genre movie wins at the Oscars and William mourns the Buffy reboot.
Next week: the epic final conclusion, part two of Kingdom of Ash.

Things are getting FREAKY this week on
DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE as William and Jacob discuss There Is No Antimemetics Department by antm, a genuinely terrifying, sci-fi/horror phantasmagoria.
This club has everything: unknowable entities that eat memories, ideas that kill you if youâre aware of them, Lovecraftian monsters composed of dismembered body parts, and a LOT of giant spiders that are currently all around you-you just canât perceive them.
Itâs trippy, it gave both of your beloved hosts nightmares, and itâs quite possibly the scariest book either of them has ever read.

Part 1 (Chapters 1-67)

This week, DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE podcast is doing a FULL BOOK, FULL SPOILER review of @mattdinniman âs OPERATION BOUNCE HOUSE!
This one left us glued to the edge of our seats all the way to the bookâs epic, twisty, and shocking conclusion.
OPERATION BOUNCE HOUSE is super fun, has high stakes, and great pacing. Itâs politically resonant, incredibly relevant, wildly inventive, and yet⌠somehow still a little forgettable overall.
We also break down the ways in which itâs both similar and different to the authorâs hit Dungeon Crawler Carl series.
Tune into the episode to hear how Dinniman manages to make a story about murderous Twitch streamers and their unwitting victims feel like a biting commentary on modern surveillance and civil unrest!

This week on the DRAGONS DADDIES DEEP SPACE podcastâŚ
Hot off the presses, Operation Bounce House by @mattdinniman , author of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, is bringing zany hijinks and serious sociopolitical commentary to DDDSpod.
Oliver, a third-generation colonist on the faraway planet New Sonora, is living a simple life on a remote ranch with his sister Lulu, his rockband The Rhythm Mafia, and a small army of worker robots. That all changes when Apex Industries descends on the planet with a diabolical 5-day âeviction eventâ to eradicate a nonexistant terrorist threat, called Operation Bounce House, where gamers from Earth will livestream a real-life game where the enemies are the New Sonorans themselves. Itâs dark, itâs quick, itâs funâitâs extremely of the moment.
But first, Jacob finishes Demon in White by Christopher Ruocchio, and William decides that jousting just isnât for him.
NEXT WEEK we finish our two-part discussion of the book with a full spoiler review.
