Happy scare day, spine crackers. In honor of Halloween, we go on a nature tour of Europe and create a quilt man out of corpses; aka Frankenstein! Fun fact, Frankenstein was the doctor , not the monster. Funner fact, Victor Frankenstein is not a doctor. He's literally just a guy in his dorm room with some loose meat and a dream. Also, we talk about monster-dong less than you might expect.

This week, Sarah and Amelia walk a lonely road, the only one that they've ever known. Or have known since they read _The Road _by Cormac McCarthy, at least. Amelia enjoys the oppressively bleak tone and makes a strong case for cannibalism again. Sarah thinks it's a bit of a slog and loses her ability to read words aloud. Please, Cormac McCarthy, never listen to this.

Scurvy, botulism, exploding teeth and man-eating demon polar bears. This week Sarah and Amelia read Dan Simmons' The Terror , and discuss why the Arctic is not a great place to be a European explorer in the 19th century. Also, Sarah quotes "Italian Spiderman" a whole heck of a lot for someone who doesn't know any quotes from "Italian Spiderman."
