To get a sense of justice in horror and horror-adjacent cinema, you first need to experience revulsion and terror. You need to fear and survive predators before you can start hating them, and you need to hate them to get even in the most painful ways. In this book, I rate and review 28 rape-and-revenge films.

An engaging work of cultural history that reveals the stories behind one of the world's most coveted and beloved ceramic. When over seventy-five pieces of rare and intriguing seventeenth and eighteenth century Delftware are rediscovered in an historic Manhattan townhouse, decorative art advisor and writer Genevieve Wheeler Brown quickly recognizes that, together, these pieces tell an amazing story. What begins as a curatorial exercise quickly evolves not only into an exploration of this colorful, expressive, and sometimes even humorous decorative art, coveted for hundreds of years, but also an unexpected uncovering of forceful female lives yet untold.Connecting the accounts of women across centuries, Beyond Blue and White allows us to craft a more complete picture of female experience through the lens of material culture. Beyond Blue and White is a colorful celebration of an iconic decorative art and dynamic women living in extraordinary times. Wheeler-Brown's rich narrative encourages us to see beyond the dazzling cobalt glaze of Delftware to consider that these vessels are also our connection to a history with a fascinating group of women at its center.Show book
Daisy Jones & The Machine We Built is a requiem for authenticity in an age of performance. Behind every song lies an algorithm, behind every voice a brand. This book explores how passion becomes product, how rebellion becomes rhythm, and how the hunger for art is replaced by the machinery of attention. Daisy’s story becomes a parable for a generation that traded intimacy for influence, and creation for visibility. Through lyrical prose and cultural critique, it reveals the cost of being seen in a world that values exposure over expression — and asks whether there’s still room for truth in an echo chamber built to repeat itself forever.Show book

TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Lance Henriksen privately vowed to quit acting if his role in this film didn’t succeed, as it followed years of minor roles. This turned out to be one of his most successful performances.” “In both the standard and special edition versions, the fifteen-minute countdown at the film's climax is exactly fifteen minutes long.” “A deleted scene shows Ripley's daughter's portrait, which features Elizabeth Inglis, Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother. This scene was restored in the director's cut.” “Al Matthews, who plays the Marine sergeant, was the first black Marine to be promoted to sergeant in the field during his service in Vietnam.” “Sigourney Weaver’s Academy Award nomination for Best Actress was the first ever for an actress in an action film role.”Show book
