Mythologies can be so deeply ingrained in our cultural zeitgeist that it’s hard to separate out the original from the adaptations. King Arthur is just one of those legends that I’ve always known and didn’t think too hard about the origin. Every year there’s a new piece of media that adds on to the story. […]
I’m probably not the only film buff out there waiting patiently for The Green Knight to arrive in cinemas. It was one of my most anticipated movies of last year. Of course, due to covid, The Green Knight was pushed back over a year and finally will grace us with its presence at the end […]
Is Charlie in the car with a serial killer? In a desperate need to return home to Ohio from her New Jersey college Charlie decides to use the ride share board and meets Josh, a campus employee. In a haze of grief Charlie might’ve accepted a ride with the Campus Killer. I was quickly on […]
Afrofuturism Last August I read Octavia Butler’s Dawn, and for months the story of the Oankali stuck with me. As I was learning more about Butler and her work, the term Afrofuturism kept popping up. While new to me, this is a subgenre that has been growing for some time and gained traction with the […]
This was a month that had its ups, downs, and in-betweens for sure. I loved The Haunting of Hill House so much and it was one reread that not only held up but surpassed my previous experience. Slade House and The Woman in Black had their flaws but were still enjoyable reads. And then there […]
In my Hill House review I stated that I rarely reread books and of course, since I put that out into the universe, the fates aligned, and I’m now rereading my second book this month. I was in a pinch and Slade House fits the parameters I was shooting for with this month’s theme. Every […]
After the events that filled the first month of the year, I don’t know about you but I was glad for some good escapism literature. When faced with the deep flaws of humanity I needed a break at points to read and write about heroes and books, with a hopeful vision. I wanted to use […]
I’m still shocked that 2020 is finally coming to an end. I know that 2021 isn’t going to magically change anything, but I’m more hopeful that the end of 2021 will be better than its beginning. Can’t say the same for this year. Out of the 38 books I’ve read (so far) these are my […]
Happy Holidays! We’re now in the full swing of the season here in the states and with that I get to write the posts I look forward to all year. I’m a product of my time and dang it, I love a good list. December is the time to indulge with my ‘best of the […]
We got a smorgasbord this week! Before I get to my wrap for October and November, I wanted to touch on some of my two of my favorite elements of horror along with a favorite means of enjoying horror stories. I didn’t think these needed their own posts to explore but I still wanted to […]
