40. A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness (original idea by Siobhan Dowd)
In this episode Ciara and Aífe discuss A Monster Calls, written by Patrick Ness based on an original idea by Siobhan Dowd. It's about grief, stories, and having a monster appear in the middle of the night to give you CBT because none of the adults in your life are doing their job and communicating with you. Content warning for grief, parental death, child neglect, some mentions of violence. As is our wont, we went a little off topic. This time, to talk about the small trans libraries of Dublin and Glasgow.
