City of the Dead

Published: Dec. 9, 2020, 11 p.m.

We are all used to epidemics at this stage. . .\nBut have you ever seen bodies rising from the ground? \nBeacons burned night-after-night to ward away infectious air?\nFarmers coughing blood at the roadside dropping one-by-one as a town is turned from a quiet borough to a 'city of the dead.'\nAran and Luke explore the experience of Charlotte Thornley in Sligo town during the cholera epidemic, an experience which went on to inspire her son, Bram Stoker.\nLastly, the boys chat about their own (comparatively minor) struggles after a year of Covid-19.\n\n\nMusic by Gareth Quinn Redmond\nLogo by AislingLarkinDesign
