Adventures in Unhistory: Myths, Mysteries, and Davidson’s Genius

Send us a text

Adventures in Unhistory is a literary journey into the strange, the mythical, and the half-forgotten—led by the genius of Avram Davidson and explored by Bob & Virgil. Each episode dives into Davidson’s witty and erudite examinations of myths and legends: mermaids, dragons, werewolves, unicorns, the phoenix, Sinbad, Prester John, Aleister Crowley, and more. Davidson’s essays, at once scholarly and playful, reveal the hidden roots of stories that have captivated humanity for centuries.

Expect dazzling digressions, deep dives into ancient texts, and the kind of humor and erudition that make Davidson’s work timeless. As Peter S. Beagle once said, his prose “cries out to be read aloud.” Bob & Virgil bring that spirit to life—part literary salon, part campfire storytelling, part detective hunt through history’s margins.

Whether you’re a scholar, a fantasy fan, or just a curious traveler through the world’s oldest mysteries, Adventures in Unhistory will entertain, educate, and make you wonder: what if the myths were true?
