Episode 91 - The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman

Get all dressed up in your best grey sheet - it’s time to discuss The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman! We’re Shifting through the cemetery gates to hang out with Nobody (Bod) Owens, a sweet boy raised by spirits after his family is murdered. Join us as we celebrate Bod’s love of learning, thwart the Sleer’s crushing grasp and appreciate Miss Lupescu’s culinary talents.

We’re also excited to be joined by special guest Justis Phillips! She shares her perspective as a lifecycle doula in our discussion of Gaiman’s approach to death.

Grab your partner and hop into the danse macabre!
