The Disappearing Quarter Trick (Clive Barker's LORD OF ILLUSIONS [1995] feat. Duane Swierczynski)

The Scary Stuff Podcast

Happy Noirvember! We've been meaning to do a horror/noir movie as a Noirvember special since our first year, so apparently the third year's the charm. So this year we're delighted to review our first Clive Barker feature on the pod: LORD OF ILLUSIONS [1995], with Clive adapting his own short story "The Last Illusion" from the Books of Blood. And even better, we're joined by a very special guest whose prose and comics work we've loved for a long time: Duane Swierczynski! We had an absolutely fabulous time chatting with Duane, and we really hope everyone enjoys the episode. But more importantly, we hope everyone takes a moment after the episode to consider donating to Evie's Holiday Book Drive, which is currently active until December 5th, 2022. Duane gives more details on the book drive in our episode at this timecode (01:44:10), but you can visit the link below for more details on The Evelyn Swierczynski Foundation and to donate here: https://www.teameviefoundation.com/ You can find more detail on Duane's work and social media links via his Linktree here: https://linktr.ee/swierczy And as always, thanks so much for listening!!
