You won't be able to stomach Daniel Kraus and Partially Devoured
Daniel Kraus returns to Peculiar Book Club to dive into a horror movie classic! His latest examines his favorite film’s importance to our history, culture, and psychology, creating a perfect blend of research and memoir in the vein of Quentin Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation. Kraus first saw George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead when he was five years old. Through watching it approximately three hundred times since (yes really), Kraus discovered the many ways the film is tied to his childhood trauma and how its influence has carried into his adulthood. He couldn’t help but wonder: Are there other admirers of the film out there who feel the same?Partially Devoured uses a frame-by-frame deep dive into Night of the Living Dead to produce a kaleidoscopic cultural investigation of the film’s importance and to examine the author’s early life of rural isolation and local violence. Join us for a live discussion with the author where we can really get into the… meat… of things. Episode was recorded live October 22, 2026.
