The Monster, The Super Bowl, and the Politics of Fear; or Why Frankenstein is Still Popular in 2026

Sorry, English Majors—Wuthering Heights (probably) Isn’t Going to be Good.
Ezra-Oscar Franchi, Arts & Entertainment Editor Charli XCX and John Cale’s song “House” was made for the upcoming Wuthering Heights soundtrack (you know, the one that goes, “I think I’m gonna die in this…house?”). This comes as a surprise to me, because despite being an avid participant in literary and cinematic social circles and online communities, I’ve only seen this song used in memes. In fact, I haven’t seen much marketing for (or talk about) Wuthering Heights at … Continue reading Sorry, English Majors—Wuthering Heights (probably) Isn’t Going to be Good.
