The key to it all… (OK, maybe not THE key, but A key 😝) Description: Through a series of tussles (verbal/physical) between the head of the de Clermont family and the Grand Master of the Knights of Lazarus, we finally learn who in the family actually holds that elusive seat on the Congregation, and where […]

Gerbert — you rascal! Description: There are many things going on concurrently — the hunt for an errant son, the heist of a very important object in the story, and the extermination of a major pest (to mention a few of the things in this episode). If we say any more it would be spoilers […]

We love holidays! This year, let’s try this one! Description: It’s our holiday episode! We love to test the waters with different traditions, and this year we are doing Festivus (of Seinfield fame)! Feats of Strength! Festivus Miracles! Airing of Grievances! We also have a relaxed imaginary fireside chat. We reflect on aspects of the […]

After living in Elizabethan England for so long, we figured a modern invitation would be both refreshing and appropriate! Description: We are ending our adventures in the 16th Century. Goodbye, Goody. Goodbye, Hubbard. Goodbye, Walter. Goodbye, Kit. Goodbye, George. Goodbye, Hal. Goodbye, Jack. Goodbye, Annie. See ya, Susanna. Goodbye, Garlickhythe Gathering. Goodbye, Gallowglass. Goodbye, Pierre. […]

Merry Christmas! Description: Well, what can we say about this episode, but it’s the last one of the year! All Souls-y stuff? We tried. Going off the rails, chatting like we do? We succeeded!

Oh right! THAT GUY. Description: It’s time for a formal dinner! Fun, right? Let’s answer this question as Lady Daemons: “Nah, Bruh.” Eventually, we get to a calm period when people were able to break bread without killing each other, and that’s nice — until the ultimate party-crasher dialed it in. Yikes. In typical fashion […]

A #TeamBaldwin Perspective Now that we have your attention, we need to talk about Baldwin. As you know, a few of the Daemons are the founders of #TeamBaldwin.  We get that he’s not for everyone and, honestly, we like it that way! We’re generally a live and let live bunch (yeah – we know he […]

Hello friends!  Because of this trilogy we’ve met many like-minded people.  Amongst our fellow All Souls enthusiasts, this question usually popped up within our first introductions: “What brought you to All Souls?”  We love hearing about the journeys to the Trilogy.  Here is one story that we thought would be cool to share because many […]

Our whimsical guess as to what a modern creature publication might look like! As most of you know, we are going to be at ASC!  We’ve also been honored by being selected to present the fan panel this year!  The subject, Matthew Clairmont: Dream date, or a hot mess?  Well, we suppose it depends what […]

This Weekly Geek is dedicated to one of our favorite holidays – Halloween!  We are going to explore the American traditions mentioned in Chapter 42, A Discovery of Witches. A tiny witch and a slightly larger vampire were holding hands on the front porch.“Trick or treat,” they intoned, holding out their open pillowcases.“I’m a vampire,” […]

Hercules taming the Cretan Bull (the 7th labor) Description: Philippe de Clermont. Need we say more? Truly, that name was made for the proverbial mic-drop. Nonetheless, we make a valiant attempt at profiling the “Kingmaker.” SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read The All Souls Trilogy, […]

It’s done!  The first Annual AllSoulsCon has come and gone, and wow what an experience!  This is a recap of the convention from our point of view, and we will have more perspectives on this great event in the coming days!  First, we had to actually get there!  One of us from Chicago, one from […]
