Othersode #26: Sometimes Dad Is Better / Pet Sematary
Get unburied with the #BookSquad (and special guest Charlie, Emily’s dad!) as we come back from the dead to talk about the new 2019 film adaptation of Stephen King’s “Pet Sematary.” We discuss grief, death and the big changes between the book (and the 1989 film) and the new movie. Plus, you get to learn a little about our childhood pets! Then we dig into some Captain Marvel listener feedback and tell you what’s on the #BookSquadBlog right now. Up next for our #bookpisode: “Gingerbread” by Helen Oyeyemi. Read along with us for that and for our next #othersode, where we’ll (probably) hate on “Stranger in the House” by Shari Lapena.
