Caroline and Carly are talking about cosmic horror featuring an army of strange creatures from another dimension, space and time traveling. We talk about grief and its relation to the passage of time. We ask whether the Recluse in this story, as well as the characters in the other books we read, are more susceptible to being haunted?
