Inspired by “The Graveyard Book“
Hello October! It’s time to read scary books and visit scary places! Is there a better way to celebrate this spooky month than by visiting a cemetery!? My book club’s book this month is, appropriately, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. The book is set in a very old graveyard. So, I set out to find a real life ancient graveyard to explore. As luck would have it, Philadelphia – being one of the United States’ most historic cities – has plenty of those! It’s a tapophiliac’s dream city! Today’s adventure was to investigate Hood Cemetery in Germantown, a neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
