Alie WardHOST
Oh, hey.
Alie WardHOST
It's that bird outside the hardware store that dive bombed your mom's head 12 years ago, Alie Ward, and if you're here, you might like horror, or perhaps you've been sent this episode by someone who does, who just wants you to attend a midnight graveyard screening of Poltergeist just this once for them.
Alie WardHOST
Why do they love it? Why don't you? Or vice versa.
Alie WardHOST
Okay, so let's ask neuroscientists, who like brains, and particularly one.
5 MINS LATER
Alie WardHOST
I understand that the striatum is a, a focus of your work, and I don't know what that does, and I don't know how it relates to everyday life or horror, so can you tell me a little bit about what the striatum is?
Austin LimGUEST
is?Yeah, absolutely.
Austin LimGUEST
It's a brain structure that does a lot of the integrative work.
Alie WardHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jon MaturanHOST
I'm...
Jon MaturanHOST
It's hot in this studio.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
It's actually really hot right now.
Jon MaturanHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
It's like.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
[laughs]
Jon MaturanHOST
So, um, I'm doing well.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
Yeah.
ElizabethHOST
I've seen the cover to that around.
ElizabethHOST
It's like a red cover with the woman in silhouette.
AndreaHOST
Yeah.
AndreaHOST
And so maybe I just saw it on like BookTok, so it was sort of on my radar, and then she won the Nobel Prize for Literature, so then that always piques my interest.
AndreaHOST
And the cover makes it look weird, and it was right before my sister's birthday, and my sister is really into weird little books these days.
AndreaHOST
And so for all these reasons, I thought to myself, "You know what? I'm gonna buy this used copy and I'm going to read it next in time to give it to my sister for her birthday." I think I read it in like 24 hours.
AndreaHOST
It's just fascinating.
AndreaHOST
The internet calls it horror, but then you're reading the synopsis on the cover and I just couldn't help thinking to myself like, "How is this horror?" Basically, the premise is that the main character has a dream and decides to stop eating meat.

She was pulling her shorts up again when she heard approaching footsteps from the dump.
speaker_2NARRATOR
All she could see through the bushes were flashes of blue denim and the faded plaid of a school shirt.
speaker_2NARRATOR
It was Patrick.
speaker_2NARRATOR
She ducked down, waiting for him to pass by toward Kansas Street.

And in amongst all of the Your Next Read excitement with those gold titles, I've also had a really big work week recently.
Megan DaleyHOST

Neil McRobertGUEST
Good.
Neil McRobertGUEST
Good.
Neil McRobertGUEST
That's the short answer, and that obviously then just, like, transmute- transmuted into, like, horror as the genre that, that, that offered that.
SlavaHOST
The family quickly befriends their elderly neighbor, Jud Crandall, who introduces them to a pet sematary, spelled S-E-M-A-T-R-A-Y, in the woods behind their house.
SlavaHOST
It's a makeshift graveyard where local children have buried their deceased pets for generations.
SlavaHOST
However, an undercurrent of danger exists as their property borders a busy road frequently used by speeding trucks.
SlavaHOST
After the family cat is killed by one of these trucks, Jud secretly leads Louis deeper into the woods, beyond the barrier of the pet sematary, to an ancient Mi'kmaq burial ground.
SlavaHOST
But after he comes back, there's a, a lot of dark things unpacked.
SlavaHOST
And the ending itself, I don't think you guys will be r- ready for it, or you'll be surprised, right? You'll be surprised by the ending.
SlavaHOST
It's not your typical King ending, I would say, and I didn't see it coming the first time I read it.
SlavaHOST
It was bleaker than I imagined.
Hayes WolfendenHOST
Thank you.
Hayes WolfendenHOST
