"Kathy Acker was a punk-rock, post-modern writer-artist and she wrote this piece after her mother died. The title says all there is to know about her feelings towards her mother. Acker’s writing coalesces to its most epic as she reinvents, bends, and destroys language, to build a world that is a complete psychological immersion and creative experience. Her books are a gift to humanity."

"Any collection of John Cheever’s short stories. I’m not a big fan of much of what passes itself off as literary fiction, finding it to be insipid, self-indulgent, plotless, and pointless. However, Cheever could write about everyday life and make it fascinating. His psychological insights are deft, never heavy-handed, and sometimes, as in his story “The Enormous Radio,” he veers into some really strange territory."

This House Isnt a Home
You Should Have Left- is a really good psychological thriller. Yes its about a normal house that isnt a normal house. From the outside its a normal house, but once inside its different.

The plot: Strange events plague a couple and their young daughter when they rent a secluded countryside house that has a dark past.

I do recordmend watching it.

This classic novel of Margaret Atwood is now a televised mini-series, but I really had to read the book before I start watching it. This fascinating historical fiction novel is a psychological profile based on the true story of Grace Marks, the woman convicted of a double homicide in 1843.

Psychological Thriller?
Yorgos Lanthimos writes and directs strange, off-the-wall cinema. The Lobster is par for the course. Colin Farrell stars as a man looking for love in all the wrong places (ironic, I know). Rachel Weisz is excellent as the female lead opposite of Farrell. There is a ton to like here, but it is an odd experience.
