Live from the Crypt is an hilarious information series with an undead chat show format where ghostly historical figures are interviewed by the diverse crew of the show about their lives and experiences, featuring quirky illustrations, comic strips and play script-style text.
In this volume, the ghosts of famous pioneers of the science of electricity are interviewed about their inventions and discoveries, including Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla. It is a mind-expanding and side-splitting treat for young readers.
