Clive Barker, probably my favourite author of all time. My first experience with his work was when I was 20 and I picked up his short story collections The Books of Blood. That was a game-changer: horror with high literary qualities, the imagination, the blending of pain and ecstasy, of terror and eroticism. I was blown away. I have since gone on to read everything he’s put out. And I have love...

Greek Myth Retellings

Переглядів 10514 днів тому

Greek myth retellings is a subgenre of fiction that I did not realize I actually like, and a lot. I am not generally attracted to ancient things: history, archeology, my fashion sense. Ancient things, that’s not really my bag. But, in the last few years, accidentally, by choosing reads from book prize winners, authors getting a buzz, BookTube, I have read a few of these Greek myth retellings. A...

There is a lot of diversity on BookTube; people from all over the world, from different backgrounds and with different perspectives talking about books, and that is reflected in the diversity of books that are talked about on Booktube. Which makes it all the more surprising - suspicious, even - that these 4 amazing authors I’m going to feature in this video are never talked about on BookTube. N...

Comfort Foods: they don’t necessarily provide us with the nutrients, vitamins, and proteins that are bodies need, but they do provide us with a sense of well-being, of familiarity and comfort, right.

David Cronenberg - Movies vs Books

David Cronenberg, easily my favourite film maker of all time. He is largely responsible for turning me, as a teenager, into a life-long fan of the dark and the strange, of body horror and psychological horror. He has put out exactly 20 feature-length films, 10 of which were based on his original stories, and the other 10, based on books, plays, and short stories. In this video, we’re going to t...
