Epic Rap Battles of History – King vs. Poe

Have you ever seen Epic Rap Battles of History?  Delightfully nerdy, it is a You Tube series that puts historical figures together and makes them rap at one another.

They made one where Steven King takes on Edgar Allan Poe.  Since bookshelfbattle.com is discussing Halloween lit all month long, I figure “King or Poe – Who’s the Master of Horror?” is a good question.  If you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to post below.

Barely Political – Key of Awesome – The Anti List – Must Read Books for the Summer

I love the Key of Awesome. If you’ve yet to see it, it’s a hilarious youtube channel where the people over at barely political (which also has a youtube channel) produce some funny song parodies. They also do something called “The Anti List” where, well, they basically make funny lists. They just made one lampooning a bunch of bestselling books turned movies/tv. Check it out. While you’re at it, look for their video”Booty Jam” on youtube as that is, in my opinion, their funniest music parody video. Please support these guys, check them out on youtube, follow their channels, etc. They’re always hilarious and it’s great to see such funny independent comedy.

Here’s the Anti List on Books:
