Description

We are all used to epidemics at this stage. . .
But have you ever seen bodies rising from the ground?
Beacons burned night-after-night to ward away infectious air?
Farmers coughing blood at the roadside dropping one-by-one as a town is turned from a quiet borough to a 'city of the dead.'
Aran 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.
Lastly, the boys chat about their own (comparatively minor) struggles after a year of Covid-19.
