If there's one subgenre based on location I love, it's Horror set in the Irish countryside. Director Peter Vass's upcoming film Banshee looks to have the quiet atmosphere I love in spades. Check out this trailer:
I'm unfamiliar with Vass and everything about this project, but after watching this, oh do I yearn to know more! You can check out the film's socials via the YouTube link.
Read:
As I approach the finish line on Isabel Cañas's The Possession of Alba Díaz, I realized that my first read of 2025 is probably going to be a long-overdue re-read of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's classic The Difference Engine.
I pulled my old beat-up paperback off the shelf a few nights ago and set it aside in preparation. It's easily been 15 years since the last time I read this one, and I think it will help me nail the Victorian England portion of Shadow Play, Book Two, which I'm hip-dip in at the moment and needing some authenticity.

Hope, clarity and assessment. That pain turned out to be another example of the bane of my middle age - gas. I'm alright now and ready to turn the volume up on my eating and drinking over the next few days.
