This episode, we chat to guest Brad Ewin about Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane, of which he says: "This book equally makes you feel desperately envious of a childhood you never had, and endlessly glad you didn’t. Gaiman crafts an amazing balance between a low stakes childhood adventure, a charming backdrop of magic, and unsettling horror."
