Well, this was odd. I started reading this book because it's a childhood favourite of many UK people I know, and the charm hits you right from the beginning: this is an adventure like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, like The Goonies and Candleshoe, with witches and...
One thing is certain: it's my first time reading this book. I thought I did, but I think I skipped right to Children of Dune and God Emperor, because I'm confident I would remember this. Heartbreaking and astonishingly beautiful, I know I'm a voice outside the...
July 16, 1833.--This is a memorable anniversary for me; on it I complete my three hundred and twenty-third year! The Wandering Jew?--certainly not. More than eighteen centuries have passed over his head. In comparison with him, I am a very young Immortal. Am I, then, immortal? This...

I've been wanting to watch this vampire movie for a while now, but I've been putting it off because I'm very particular when it comes to horror movies; I generally find them products for stupid 8-year-olds who want to be jump-scared. Fuck them. If you...
