We have three tales of intrigue from the dark depths of the Chicago Humanities annals, featuring selections from YouTube’s Caitlin Doughty of “Ask a Mortician” about if cats will eat your eyeballs when you die, New School faculty member and author Kristen J. Sollée from her lecture “Witches, Sluts, Feminists,” and a section of a short ghost story by Chicago author Amy Giacalone from the compendium “Ghostly,” compiled by author Audrey Niffenegger.
