Jonesin’ For a Fix: Books for TV Addicts Who Love Grimm

Are you a devoted Grimm viewer? Because you should be. The NBC show is a blend of fairy tales, horror and detective procedural; it’s like if Once Upon a Time and Supernatural had a baby who liked to solve crimes. And if that’s not a selling point, I’m not sure what is.…

Review: Fall in Love with Emma Donoghue’s ‘The Wonder’

“Lib wrote down, 1:13 p.m., 1 tsp. water. Not that quantity mattered, she supposed, except that she wanted to be able to give a full account of anything the child ingested on her watch.” For fans of historic classics such as The Kite Runner and Angela’s Ashes, The Wonder (Little, Brown & Company,…

A Demonic Book List for Fox’s The Exorcist Miniseries!

Halloween is coming early! Lately, it feels like everything is being remade for television, from Lethal Weapon to the Divergent movies (apparently). So, when we heard that Fox was remaking The Exorcist as a miniseries, we were a bit dubious. Seriously? You’re remaking what is thought to be the greatest…

Alexandra Kleeman’s ‘Intimations’: An Absurdist’s View of Costume Parties and Lobster Dinners

The Books on Bridget Jones’s Imaginary Bookshelf

It’s hard to fully encapsulate the amazingness that is Bridget Jones’s Diary. Helen Fielding’s book is fantastic, and the movie is even better. (Seriously, come at me). Between the most relatable female heroine ever, the objectively least-crazy-most-sensible-while-still-being-attractive leading man, and quite possibly the greatest, least graceful fight scene in movie…

Horrifying Reads to Get You Ready for American Horror Story Season 6

It's no secret around the office that I’m a huge fan of FX's American Horror Story (AHS). I even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of walking around the set of "Coven: Season 3", meeting the writers and watching the actors film for six hours. Anyways, enough about me. As we all know, fall…

Diagnosing Literary Characters, One Murderer at a Time

Murder is contextual. Meaning, the action of killing by itself tells us nothing about underlying motivation. A murder in war, for example, has an entirely different motive than a serial killer’s compulsive, methodical kills. It’s apples and oranges, really: both fruit on the outside, but very different on the inside.…

Books Capturing the Romance and Heartbreak of ‘The Light Between Oceans’

Most of the time, I like to root for couples that I know stand a chance at Happily Ever After. Sometimes, I’m bitterly disappointed (don’t even get me started on How I Met Your Mother’s Barney & Robin), but I can usually spot a life-long love a mile away. It’s…
