This is our first “Book club” episode. We plan to have roughly one episode a month that dives more deeply into one particular book or book series.

In this episode we talk specifically about one book, The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman. We talk about what we liked, the story choices that surprised us, our favorite characters, the emotional draws of the book, and another book that Gaiman says influenced the writing of this book.

If you haven’t read The Graveyard book, the basic thing you need to know before listening is that the book takes place in a graveyard, where a living boy is being raised by ghosts. We try to stay away from talking to specifically about main plot points and we hope listening to this episode will spark your interest to read the book.

If you have read The Graveyard Book, we hope you’ll enjoy this episode even more because of being able to follow right along with us as we mention various things from the story.

Keep reading, and writing, and putting yourself out there!

Into the woods,
Fable & The Verbivore
