A short horror book review for Halloween! And what better way to start it then with a not well known Halloween classic! I mean, it's called the scariest horror story written by Stephen King himself. And it sure is that, I just wished it was written in modern prose instead of old Victorian english. Summary: … Continue reading The Great God Pan – A Short Horror Classic

Princess Sultana’s Daughters – To The Extreme
Having read the first book I immediately started on the second. And oh boy, this one goes dark and in to real dark territory. More than the first one, in my opinion.

Mind you, this review ended being more personal than I intended, but I will keep it, because it is the … Continue reading Loving Vincent (2017) – A Masterpiece of Both Art and Cinema
Monsoon Wedding (2001) – Intimate Story of Love Inside a Realistic Wedding
It was about time I watched this classic film. It took me a while but I finally watched it and wasn't disappointed. This film, along with Lagaan, brought Indian culture for Westerners in the forefront in the early 2000s. Lagaan was made by Indians for Indians as well as Westerners, this movie though, was meant … Continue reading Monsoon Wedding (2001) – Intimate Story of Love Inside a Realistic Wedding
Cupid and Psyche: A Play in Blank Verse (2009) – How I love Thee, Tale as Old as Time
Now this one was a discovery I am ever so thankful for! A search for something mythological, with the addition of one of the oldest tales ever told, told anew in this play that is so exquisitely made with such prose (Blank verse for those who don't know) that it makes the story both familiar … Continue reading Cupid and Psyche: A Play in Blank Verse (2009) – How I love Thee, Tale as Old as Time
