Picture a summer filled with ghostly tales, eccentric relatives, and the kind of nostalgia that brings back all the feels of our own childhood adventures. That's what we're unpacking as Kylee, Susie, and our special guest, Justin—Kylee's husband—gather around the mic to chat about Craig Davidson's "The Saturday Night Ghost Club." We kick things off by comparing the book's youthful vibes to "Stranger Things," while also delving into its more weighty themes. Listen as Justin shares his fresh take after finishing the book, and we chew over the surprising blend of medical insights and storytelling that shapes Jake's character.
Our journey leads us to Uncle Calvin's wacky occultorium—a place where ghost stories are as common as the bizarre leads on hauntings he collects via his "bat phone." We share a touching moment featuring Billy Yellow Bird, a young boy longing to connect with his late grandmother, and how Uncle Calvin's kindness shines through these whimsical adventures. We explore the bonds between Jake and his friends, delving into his budding friendship with Billy and his charming crush on Billy's sister, Dove. Together, they navigate the innocent yet complex terrain of growing up amid ghost stories and carefree escapades.
The episode takes a chilling turn with tales like the Screaming Tunnel, where we uncover more about Uncle Calvin's emotional layers and his passion for storytelling. As we laugh our way through playful fan casting sessions, imagining the perfect actors to bring these vibrant characters to life, we reflect on the fantastical and heartfelt elements that make this story resonate. Throughout it all, the warmth and wisdom of Uncle Calvin leave an indelible mark on Jake's life, making "The Saturday Night Ghost Club" a tale of nostalgia, mystery, and the irresistible charm of childhood.
