"While working in story on an early version of Wall-E, I boarded a sequence featuring a chase through a cityscape. Andrew Stanton, the film’s director, called me on it: “This is so Third Man!” He had a big smile on his face, and why wouldn’t he? I’ve learned where to find tough guys who cast long shadows. And I’ve also learned where to milk a character reveal: Carol Reed plus Anton Karas plus Robert Krasker equals Harry Lime, and cinematic perfection"

Love in the crosshairs. Power on the throne. Poison in the shadows.

Step into the dangerous world of 17th-century Rome with The Cameo Keeper (Tofana #4) by Deborah Swift. This compelling Guest Post explores modern parallels—how power, faith, and politics still collide today just as they did in Giulia Tofana’s time.

A riveting blend of history, intrigue, and deadly secrets.

[A Plague of Shadows] by [Travis Simmons] was a very quick read. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. I see it is called "A New Adult Dark Fantasy" but I do not see what makes it 'adult'. I usually equate that with content that I can't put in my classroom. I did not find any of that in this book. To me it was a simple battle of good vs. evil. I hope to read the next installment in [The Harbingers of Light Series].

Modern Wicker Man

Ari Aster had me hooked with Hereditary and then blew it at the end.
This time no such mistakes. Stunning. Stunning. Stunning.
Day time horror with no where to hide and no shadows to cover, you see EVERYTHING even if you dont want to. Utterly brilliant and a worthy Wicker Man rival. No, hang on it's better than the Wicker Man and probably the best horror film since The Shining!
That about covers it
