Simon Kurt Unsworthīlack Static fiction contributor and author of Quiet Houses This Is Horror took the opportunity to sit down with some of the key contributors, and readers of the magazine to try to nail down exactly what it is about Black Static that is so important to the horror genre that we all hold dear. With excellent fiction and concise, focused columns from many respected names, Black Static sets a benchmark for quality in horror fiction and demonstrates that the pulse of literary horror is beating as steadily as our own. In 2013, Black Static is a feature of the genre, launching and enhancing the careers of hundreds of writers that provide some of the finest writing available in the genre. Then, in 2007, the magazine was relaunched in the guise that readers have come to know and cherish, as Black Static. It also showcased some of the finest writers in the genre, for people who knew where to look. It brought together some of the sharpest and most interesting fiction in the horror, fantasy and sci-fi genres. In 1994 The Third Alternative was first published. The horror genre was dying, slowly and painfully, asphyxiating on the poorly stocked shelves of mainstream bookshops. There was a time when the horror genre wasn’t healthy, a time when the general public had grown weary of stories laden with gore and giant monsters that didn’t reflect their lives or their fears.

Marred for Life!: Defaced Record Covers from the Collection of Greg Wooten (Hardback) She sent a copy of the letter to 1,000 curators, museum directors and other art professionals, inviting them to imagine that the letter was addressed to them and to respond to Mr. The letter poses this question: "What is it about Brancusi that makes his egg a work of art suitable for a museum, and not the egg by Finck?" At its heart is a timeless question: how does one object come to be understood as an important work of art, while another, so similar, is entirely forgotten? Clayton found the letter almost 40 years after it was written and discovered that it was never answered. He notes a startling similarity between this egg and Brancusi's "Sculpture for the Blind," in the museum's collection. Morgan-describes a white marble egg made by his Roma. In the archives of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pittsburgh-based artist Lenka Clayton (born 1977) came across a letter written in 1978 by a member of the public to the curator of 20th-century art. Lenka Clayton - Sculptures for Blind (Trade Paperback / Paperback) The authors are listed as Noor Murad and Yotam Ottolenghi though more broadly, it comes from the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, a diverse team of chefs assembled in a bespoke North London kitchen tasked with finding new ways to blister pepper skins or marinate swedes. It defines to Ottolenghify as taking an Eastern inspired, “vegetable-forward” approach to familiar dishes and mix with exotic ingredients from this universe or the next. This has been the Ottolenghi way for years, who now surely exists as a multiversal version of himself: man, brand, restaurant and as the book tries to make the case for, a verb. It is everything, everywhere, all at once. How else to explain Extra Good Things, the latest from the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen? A book with introductions to recipes such as “Potato slab pie: Think potato dauphinoise, meets quiche, wrapped up in pastry”. The film exists in a place where up is not only down but left, right, a circle, a square, you, me, a reasonably priced hatchback, a holiday in Tenerife and every permutation above and beyond. Michelle Yeoh travels through the multiverse to save the world from destruction, amongst other much more nuanced things. Have you seen the multi-Oscar winning Everything, Everywhere, All At Once? OMG you should, it’s great. There is this comfortable interaction among people who know each other since forever. Jessica lives in the proverbial idyllic seaside town Cabot Cove in Maine, where everyone knows everyone else or at least everyone knows Jessica. The characteristics of the series, which make it my comfort readġ. A chance encounter of few “Murder She Wrote” series books in used book stalls got me hooked to these books as my comfort read. Although I have always wanted to watch the whole series, unfortunately have watched only few episodes. This show is American counterpart of British cozy murder mysteries. The actress Angela Lansbury became a household name playing Jessica Fletcher. It follows a retired English teacher turned bestselling murder mystery writer Jessica Fletcher as she solves one after another murder. “Murder, She Wrote” is one of the longest running TV series. Gin and Daggers is a book in “Murder, She Wrote” series. Tight End by Devon McCormack wasn't it for me. So, I am going to be real honest from the start in this review. Anyways, I hope you all are having much better books than I just experienced now!□□□□♂️ Sad since this is my third book this year and already a damn DNF. Not sure about Devon Mccormack’s books as of now since this one had great potential, but turned out horrible to where I am DNFing □□♀️. The sex is hot for sure, but that does not compensate for bad MC’s ! only giving this 2 stars since again, it did have it’s hot moments. Bryce should work any other job instead of being an undercover agent since he is atrocious at it, Tad needs to get found by the killer in this book since he was that much of a horrible dick, and so much more that I felt tanked this book as a whole. □□♂️□□Hello everyone! I hope all is well! Look, I honestly tried to like this book but this was just a mess on top of a mess, on top of another damn mess. In his controversial book, The Master and the Emissary, he argues that over centuries, the values of the left hemisphere have slowly been gaining influence in society – especially since the industrial age. This subversive theory is the brainchild of Dr Iain McGilchrist, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist. Details are important, not relationships.īut in the West, it appears that the left hemisphere’s way of thinking has been dominating public life, with massive repercussions. For the left hemisphere, the world is made of separate parts it can't make connections. But it cannot solve logical problems, feel empathy for others or connect with nature. On the positive side, the left has given us science, literacy, and technology. The left hemisphere likes rules, procedures, technology, and systems. However, the way they perceive reality is very different. A subversive new theory of the human mind has been inspired by brain studies of stroke patients who have lost function in one of their hemispheres: they have revealed the fact that the left and right hemispheres of our brains have radically different ‘world views.’ Unlike the old pop-psychology beliefs of what the right and left hemisphere do, we now understand that they are both involved in most functions. It is one of the most audacious and controversial scientific theories of our time: is there an imbalance in our brain hemispheres that is affecting how we deal with large problems in our society?Īlmost everything you think you know about the differences between the brain hemispheres is wrong. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Through smooth-flowing narrative and enthralling research, Rebecca Rideal does justice to a period of history we must never forget. Rideal is particularly good on the great set pieces - the plague, the fire and (especially) the naval battles - which she brings to dramatic life with telling details * The Times * Not everyone considers non-fiction capable of entering the ‘page-turner’ category, but 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire should change a few minds. an enjoyable book about an exciting period of history * Daily Telegraph * A book firmly anchored in the grain of contemporary accounts, sparking with the crackle of first-hand reports * Guardian * An impressively vivid account of an extraordinary piece of England's history. It is Rideal's vivid and confident style, teamed with meticulous research and a curiosity for the quotidian that makes 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire a memorable, gripping and very satisfying read * Historia * Sympathetic and sharp-eyed. a keen eye for engaging anecdote and historical personality * The Spectator * Rideal's London pulses with humanity. a rollicking new book * Evening Standard * Accessible and entertaining. extraordinarily vivid * BBC History Magazine * Bound to reveal secrets you won't have heard before * History Revealed * 1666 is described brilliantly. I literally couldn't put it down * Tracy Borman, Open Book * Gripping and beautifully written. But she writes like a novelist and has clearly done her research, it's a very scholarly book. It's just extraordinary, just taking a single moment, albeit a very significant one in history and weaving in the political, the social the military history. SUNNY CHAPMAN: I went to a doctor who just treated me like dirt. It's directed by Kate Kirtz and Nell Lundy. In 1969, a group of women in Chicago decided to take matters into their own hands, setting up a hotline offering counseling and providing abortion services under the moniker “Jane.” This is an excerpt of the 1996 documentary Jane: An Abortion Service.
