Tender is the Flesh is…Fine 

Ezra-Oscar Franchi, Arts & Entertainment Editor  There’s no better genre than horror. I mean it, and no, I’m certainly not overhyping it. Horror is a woefully misunderstood genre, especially among avid readers of other genres who recognize lowbrow authors like Stephen King and James Patterson as the alphas of the literary pack. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve argued with other horror enthusiasts over the poor quality of their works—I mean, these … Continue reading Tender is the Flesh is…Fine

Sorry, English Majors—Wuthering Heights (probably) Isn’t Going to be Good.

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.

The Movie Was Better Than the Book 

Christie Cary  I am an addict. From an early age, I craved one thing: words. I was a purveyor of language and all it beheld—beauty, emotion, decay, thought, humor. I would lie on the sagging mattress of my bottom bunk, curled up with my herd of My Little Ponies, rereading my favorite dog-eared copies from my small library. While there wasn’t much funding for my miniscule library (think: a two-shelf bookstand), it slowly grew to include volumes upon volumes of The Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley Twins (and later Sweet Valley High), and Goosebumps. As … Continue reading The Movie Was Better Than the Book
