Show Notes:
Season 2, Episode 5: The Horror Genre and Coraline
We continue our exploration of genre with a little help from Neil Gaiman. Because who else can we turn to when we need a horror story for kids? Nora and Sue dive into what makes something a horror story by taking a look at Neil Gaiman’s “Coraline.” Horror for kids! What fun!

The episode "Lucky and the Treacherous Trail" (season 1, episode 2) is a great example of the Worldview genre with a Maturation subgenre. (Other subgenres in the Worldview genre are: Education, Disillusionment and Revelation.)
