The Good Demon 😈 Book Review

  

Written by Thelonia

The Good Demon starts in the aftermath of an exorcism. Unlike most stories that involve demonic possession & the removal thereof, this time our main character Clare misses her demon. Her best friend is gone now, and Clare finds herself desperate to get her back. Little does she know that her small town hides more secrets than she knows about, and her quest to get her demon back will only expose her to the darker more twisted things that hide behind closed doors, and bring them all to the light.

Final Girls 🔪 Book Review

Written by Thelonia

Quincy Carpenter is the only survivor of a mass murder in a cabin in the woods, trying to live a life that is as close to normal as possible, distancing herself from the events that had her labelled "Final Girl" by running her baking blog and living a quiet life in NYC. But after hearing that another "Final Girl," Lisa, who survived a sorority house massacre, has killed herself, and having another, Sam, turn up on her doorstep, Quincy may need to return to her memories of what happened all those years ago at Pine Cottage in order to find out the truth of that night...and who would want to kill off the Final Girls after all these years.

Lore S1 👻 TV Recap

 

Written by Thelonia

Lore began as a podcast in 2015, each episode describing a particular historical creature or event, usually relating to folklore in some manner. This year's adaptation has seen the show picked up by Amazon for a six-episode season. The show incoporates the show's trademark narration by creator Aaron Mahnke (whose voice can be a no-starter on the podcast), some beautiful animation, and reenacted fictionalized versions based off of the historical cases investigated. There are also several comparisons between these historical cases and more modern killings, all in the general goal of saying something about human nature. Whether or not that's your cup of tea is sort of up to you, but let's look at what we got out of these six episodes below.
