In this episode of the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club, I talk about Maya Angelou's seminal 1969 work "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," and Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece of horror-fantasy, "Pan's Labyrinth." I also ramble at length about potentially racist bookstore layouts, the absolute travesty that is "Cannibal Holocaust," and the horrors of war.

Also, I meant to say "microtonal" music when I was talking about System of a Down, not "multitonal."

This month’s recommendations:

Literature recommendation: "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," by Maya Angelou

Random horror recommendation: "Pan's Labyrinth," dir. by Guillermo del Toro
