    Is Marisha Pessl’s horror mystery novel “Night Film” really about Stanley Kubrick?

    Just imagine if the reclusive and enigmatic film auteur Stanley Kubrick lived in an isolated mansion and has moved his entire film production and staff into this hidden enclave. It is there, away from the prying eyes of the public, that he is making his final and most dangerous movie --Yes, Stanley Kubrick – the master filmmaker and boy genius who made “Dr. Strangelove,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Clockwork Orange,” and “The Shining.” Would you be curious to learn what his last film is? Strangely enough, the premise I have just laid before you is REAL but as the unofficial backstory of Marisha Pessl’s horror mystery novel “Night Film.” Pessl’s nom de plume for Kubrick is Stanislaus Cordova, reclusive cult-horror film director, who has not been seen in public for over thirty years.  Here is our review and essay about the book.

    Trapped in a room mystery – “The Decagon House Murders” by Yukito Ayatsuji

    “The Decagon House Murders” is a Japanese mystery novel from 1987 by Yukito Ayatsuji. It's a classic “trapped in a room” mystery often compared to Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None”. This book kicked off the “honkaku” or “orthodox” mystery writing movement — focused on heavy plotting and helped restore the golden age of mysteries in Japan.  Here is our review and essay about the book.

    Andrei Codrescu performs Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee

    Andrei Codrescu performs Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee #horror #booktok #horrortok #poetry #poe Annabel Lee It was many and many a year ago,   In a kingdom by the sea,That a maiden there lived whom you may know   By the name of Annabel Lee;And this maiden she lived with no other thought   Than to love and be loved by me.I was a child and she was a child,   In this kingdom by the sea,But we loved with a love that was more than love—   I and my Annabel Lee—With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven   Coveted her and me.And this was the reason that, long ago,   In this kingdom by the sea,A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling   My beautiful Annabel Lee;So that her highborn kinsmen came   And bore her away from me,To shut her up in a sepulchre   In this kingdom by the sea.The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,   Went envying her and me—Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,   In this kingdom by the sea)That the wind came out of the cloud by night,   Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.But our love it was stronger by far than the love   Of those who were older than we—   Of many far wiser than we—And neither the angels in Heaven above   Nor the demons down under the seaCan ever dissever my soul from the soul   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes   Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side   Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,   In her sepulchre there by the sea—   In her tomb by the sounding sea.

    Hell is no worse than this place in “The Divine Farce,” by Michael S.A. Graziano

    Let us return to hell. “The Divine Farce,” by Michael S.A. Graziano is an excellent companion piece to another “trapped in hell” novella called  “A Short Stay in Hell,” by Steven L. Peck. Both short books. Both set in a limbo dimension with no apparent conclusion except that you are stuck there for eternity. But, this is where they deviate.  Here is our review and essay about the book. Limited spoilers ahead.
