Off the Shelf (For the week of August 22nd)
Hello readers! Logan here! Welcome to ‘Off The Shelf’! In a world filled with entertainments, it’s quite often difficult to sort through the dredges to find something of merit. Every week I’d like to share what films, novels, video games & comics I’ve enjoyed and pass them on to you. Solidarity! I’ve carefully picked through the shelves of The Fiction and Film Emporium warehouse to supply you with what I’ve been enjoying/hating. Without further ado…
What have I been reading?
Coldheart Canyon by Clive Barker
Clive Barker has given the so much horror goodness. The Damnation Game! The Books of Blood! The Hellbound Heart! This book, centered around a haunted canyon in Hollywood, is as haunting as it is disturbing. Barker is really and truly a master.
What have I been watching?
One of the all time best television comedies, the dry genius of the office can’t be topped. Michael. Dwight. Jim. Pam. Classic characters that, even as the show gets more ridiculous in later seasons, feel very real. That show is endlessly quotable.
What have I been listening to?
The Vanishing by Wendy Webb through Audible
I’ve recently started using Audible at work and in my car to sneak some extra reading. ‘The Vanishing’ came from my current obsession with Gothic Horror. This book, unfortuntly, was a poor representation of the genre. Not terribly interesting or scary. Onto the next book!
Anything else?
I went and watched ‘Don’t Breathe’ last night! Expect a review next week. The official Twitter account for The Fiction and Film Emporium is now up and running! Feel free to follow us @FFEmporium!
That’s it! Until next time…
