  • Episode 2: Victorian Vampires and Feline Survivors with Miss Baker
    Apr 3 2026

    In our second episode, we are joined by the wonderful Miss Baker! While she’s a familiar face at Lord Wilson, today she takes us on a journey through the shadows of classic horror and the chaos of the undead.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • The Legend of Dracula: We take a deep dive into Bram Stoker’s masterpiece. Miss Baker helps us explore why the world’s most famous vampire continues to fascinate readers over a century later and how the Gothic atmosphere of Transylvania still haunts our modern imagination.

    • Gothic Roots: Continuing our love for the dark and atmospheric, we discuss the evolution of Gothic literature and how the themes of the Victorian era paved the way for the horror stories we love today.

    • Book Recommendation: Miss Baker introduces us to a truly unique survival story: Watson the Cat in a Zombie Apocalypse. Forget everything you know about the end of the world—this story follows the apocalypse through the eyes of a very brave (and perhaps slightly cynical) feline. It’s a must-read for animal lovers and horror fans alike.

    • Exclusive Reading: Sit back as Miss Baker reads a thrilling segment from Watson’s adventures, describing the moment the world goes quiet and the hunt for tuna—and survival—begins.

    Grab your headphones, get comfortable, and let’s turn the pages together. Happy listening!
