More enlightening comments on the same post:

ETA: I don’t mind that the Graveyard Book was a retelling. Inspiration is fine. (Lifting passages and avoiding credit is not.) But if you can’t read Gaiman anymore and you want to look for his more satisfying sources—here’s a start.

It’s Fossil Friday! If you’ve been inside the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins, you may have noticed this marine reptile hanging overhead. Meet Thalassomedon haringtoni, a long-necked plesiosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous some 85 million years ago. This behemoth had a relatively small head and many sharp teeth. Its long, flexible neck probably helped in grasping rapidly moving prey. Plesiosaurs, a group related to lizards, lived in the sea. Although they weren’t dinosaurs, they became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous around 65 million years ago, at the same time as the non-avian dinosaurs.

The Museum is open daily from 10 am–5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

Blue glass beads from the Late Bronze Age, found in 1885 when a Danish farmer ploughed up a cremation urn at Kongehøj. Made in Mesopotamia approximately 3,100 years ago, they offer evidence of long-distance trade connections in the prehistoric world.

Forged

With a little brother to care for and an entire village that ostracizes him for something he had no control over, you'd think dragons would be the last of Dean's worries.

When a truly devastating attack befalls his village and leaves those within desperate and seeking reprieve, they force Dean to become a sacrifice to the dragon people. And all because of the mark on his arm, the same mark which saves him from death at the hands of a dragon. Confused and now living amongst the same dragons he was meant to fear, Dean seeks to recover and return to his little brother. All whilst attempting to cope with the undeserved kindness he receives from the dragons, as well as the persistence of one particular dragon with whom he shares a mark with.

Talk Like a Pirate Day

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. 

Speaking of pirates...

The image above is Execution Dock on the Thames, where pirates who had been caught by the authorities were executed and their bodies caged to rot- to warn others that justice would be done.

If you haven't read the story by Inverse_Midas you should! It features Execution Dock.
