Be warned, this episode about the history of Halloween gets a bit dark, bit I don’t think it’s anything too disturbing. You’ll be fast asleep as stories of the Sidhe and Christianity overwriting ancient harvest celebrations and the like wash over you in soporific detail.

A lot of sleep happens in this episode as Jane Bennet catches a cold. Also a lot of real Mean Girls stuff going on. But hopefully you’re asleep before we get to the real annoying people.

Sleep is important on an evolutionary scale, but it’s a struggle for us in the year of 2021. Maybe the writings and musings of Charles Darwin can help, as we learn the basis for his philosophy, and how he was nearly beaten to publication!

A story about bedtime, at your bedtime. Not all is relaxing for our protagonist as he is accidentally exposed to another culture. Note to readers I did trim some of the casual racism out of this, hopefully nothing offensive slipped through.
