Hello Fellow Kids

Mara and Josh are experiencing a very different August--specifically, August 1958 in rural England. They're reading Long Lankin by Lindsey Barraclough, and if you want to know how much it spooked them, you'll just have to listen and find out! Also discussed: Terry Pratchett, Gilmore Girls, the Babadook, council houses, Javier Botet, and historical terms for psychiatric facilities. Next month we will be reading Empty Smiles by Katherine Arden. Contact us at hfkpodcast@gmail.com or @hfkpodcast on Twitter and Instagram.
