Sinopse

Είναι Απόκριες και στο Μπράξτον επικρατεί ενθουσιασμός.
 
Ενώ οι άλλοι σκαλίζουν φανάρια, πηγαίνουν σε στοιχειωμένες βόλτες με άχυρα και τρέχουν στον τρομακτικό λαβύρινθο του καλαμποκιού στο Φθινοπωρινό Φεστιβάλ, ο Κέλαν μετακομίζει σε ένα μυστηριώδες παλιό σπίτι. Όταν ένα αδίστακτο φάντασμα υπόσχεται εκδίκηση, ο ατρόμητος καθηγητής μας στρέφεται στον εκκεντρικό ιστορικό της πόλης και σε ένα απόκοσμο μέντιουμ για να το ερευνήσει.
 
Εν τω μεταξύ, οι εργάτες ανακαλύπτουν έναν σκελετό μετά τη διάνοιξη του εδάφους για τη νέα πτέρυγα της βιβλιοθήκης Μεμόριαλ. Ενώ ο Κέλαν και η Έιπριλ χορεύουν γύρω από τη χημεία που πυροδοτείται ανάμεσά τους, ένα ύποπτο ατύχημα συμβαίνει στο φθινοπωρινό φεστιβάλ.
 
Καθώς η αληθινή ιστορία και οι ύπουλες διασυνδέσεις της οικογένειας Γκρέι έρχονται στο φως, μπορεί ο Κέλαν να συλλάβει τον ασύλληπτο δολοφόνο - και να κατευνάσει το φάντασμα που αναζητά εκδίκηση;

    Now that I’m a mom, I know the most painful part isn’t getting something giant through your hooha. It’s having a real live child. 
    If you are the kind of mom who shapes your kiddo’s organic quinoa into reproductions of the Mona Lisa, do not read this book. If you stayed up past midnight to create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Domino’s pizza on speed dial, do not read this book. 
    But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they won’t put their shoes on and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonalds for a special treat but really it’s because you opened up your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book. 
    I WANT MY EPIDURAL BACK is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents. Karen Alpert’s honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet if you’re smart and read it there.

    I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander—pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
    One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
    Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
    In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
    In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times, and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
    You can, too. 
    Peace & flowers. 
    Love & light.

So if some   yahoo   is   getting on your nerves  , don't box him in the   gob   – hit him with Irishisms   galore  , and you'll soon put the   kibosh   on his   shaninagans  . Y'  dig  ? 
    Written and illustrated by Colin Murphy and Donal O'Dea, the  craggy  old  blokes  behind the bestselling Feckin' Collection and Stuff Irish People Love.
