Episode 95 - Half World, by Hiromi Goto

Time to brush up on your Bosch and grab your Jade Rat pendant - we read Half World, by Hiromi Goto (with illustrations by Jillian Tamaki)! We test how gnawable our pinkies are as we pay the toll and cross the crow bridge into Half World in all its seamy, terrifying glory. Join us in an exploration of purgatory, trauma management, and reincarnation - plus some lighter topics like the undeniable appeal of Baby G as a nickname. Whether you're flesh, spirit or a giant starfish with a beautiful child's face, we think you'll find something to enjoy.

This episode was a listener request - thanks, Lacey! If there's a book you'd like us to cover, email us at dragonbabiespodcast@gmail.com.
