![]() ![]() I picked it up quite awhile ago, initially because Louise Glück wrote the forward and secondarily because Siken is gay. Recently, this book of poetry has been getting quite a book of publicity: in 2004, then-poet laureate Louise Glück (who is fabulous, I might add) selected him as the winner of Yale Younger Poets prize, and in 2006, Crush won the Lambda Literary Award for poetry. ![]() ![]() And who knows, if you ever listened to me and read one of these things, you might find a new genre to explore. Obscure, decades-old queer theories and contemporary poetry hardly seem like they're jumping off the shelves in bookstores, but I like to think I'm expanding the horizons of all you topfive_reviewsers.

Probably many of you are familiar with these fine purveyors of blood and wounds and fake Day of the Dead face tattoos, but it seems like a cool edgy find for Martha Stewart magazine to be sharing. I’m sure Gothic.Net readers mostly know that Nars makes the best dark eye makeup, but Martha Stewart’s magazine also recommends Tinsley Transfers. Most notably, the issue has an online portion with templates for creating all the crafts described in the magazine and those templates include a Raven, suitable for jack o’lantern pumpkin decoration. We were just reminded by Gothic.Org that, even though the new Martha Stewart Living Halloween special comes out this week, we can get started with last year’s and get to all those Halloween projects we might have procrastinated.

The most interesting thing he thinks is something he’s not going to share with her: He’s hiding a secret that would tie him even more closely to that list than she imagines. What does he think about possible links among them? she wonders. FBI agent Gwen Mulvey has observed at least three unsolved murders, maybe more, that seem to take their cues from the stories on Mal’s list. ![]() Now that he owns the store with mostly silent partner Brian Murray, a semifamous mystery writer, that post has come back to haunt him. ![]() Murders, Double Indemnity, Strangers on a Train, The Drowner, Deathtrap, The Secret History: They may not be the best mysteries, reflects Malcolm Kershaw, but they feature the most undetectable murders, as he wrote on a little-read blog post when he was first hired at Old Devils Bookstore. ![]() The Red House Mystery, Malice Aforethought, The A.B.C.

Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.Īnd so the first category of explanation is the neurobiological one. įrom the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Hands-down one of the best books I've read in years.

She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. After the destruction of her village and tribe, Nimue is tasked by her mother to seek the wizard Merlin, and return to him the Sword of Power. Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. Cursed is a Netflix Original medieval fantasy series based on the Illustrated Ya novel of the same name by Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller. ![]() Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else. ![]() ![]() Her plans to travel the world come to an end when the Red Paladin, a zealous religious order, attack her village, killing almost everyone. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. At the beginning of CURSED, we meet Nimue, a young woman marked by dark magic and barely tolerated in her Druid village. That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave… Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.īut what if the Sword has chosen a Queen? ![]() ![]() Maybe that’s why he’s so comfortable with big novels. Simmons, best known for science-fiction novels such as Hyperion (1989) but excelling as well in the mystery and horror genres, was born in Peoria, Ill. ![]() You’ll be too enmeshed in the grim ordeals of the hapless men on the doomed British ships Terror and Erebus. The paperback version of Terror runs to almost 1,000 pages, but once you’re locked in harness with the steady march of Simmons’ prose, you won’t notice the gargantuan length. He used the largest, starkest canvas in the world - the bewildering blankness of the mostly uninhabited vastness of the planet’s northernmost regions - to paint with the deepest colors and explore the most intense human emotions: love, hate, fear, envy, hunger, lust, ambition. Simmons specializes in Jumbo Lit, in writing books so big that, as an anonymous British critic once described similarly enormous tomes, they’re fit to “stun a pig.” In The Terror (2007), his sensational seam-buster of a saga about a real-life Arctic expedition in the late 1840s, Simmons showed just what a brilliant author can do if you give him enough elbow room. ![]() |
