"The Mysterious Package: A Twin's Reunion"
It was a typical Wednesday evening when I heard the familiar hum of a drone flying overhead. I stepped outside to see a small, sleek machine lowering a package onto my front porch before quickly flying off into the distance. I couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and excitement as I walked over to inspect the package. It was wrapped in plain brown paper, with no return address or any indication of who it could be from.

Did Junji Ito: Maniac Hold Up the Horror?
I just finished Junji Ito: Maniac (Tales of the Macabre). The sporadic short stories that were chosen made a good decision to show the other stories that Ito is known for. People have already been ruined by the collection series and knew there was no way to look back but to look forward to what could be done to the other stories.

Dark Shadows: Beyond the Grave Review
Over time, the Dark Shadows audios from Big Finish Productions have built up from their rather humble beginnings into huge sprawling arcs. Whereas the early Dramatised Readings were isolated chamber pieces with only one or two actors, the range has since expanded to feature much larger casts of characters, and more complex storylines that feel closer to Dark Shadows' roots as a soap opera than those early storylines did. This culminated in 2013's run of releases: a series of stories set in 1973 that, while focusing on individual characters, built up a wider threat to the inhabitants of Collinsport. This storyline came to its zenith with "Beyond the Grave", a story that is perhaps unlike any other Dark Shadows audio, before or since. Told through found footage, this release really pushes at the bounds of what a Dark Shadows episode looks like, and probably goes beyond them in many ways. As such, it ends up being perhaps the single most scary Big Finish audio in the company's mammoth discography, which is quite the feet considering the number of scary stories the company has released.

Let's Get Shopping
To be honest, I am still processing this novel. This was, without a doubt, unlike anything that I have ever read before. When I saw this laying on the counter of the kitchenette at work, I thought that it was some sort of catalog for furniture, but it turned out to be a novel so unique that I couldn’t put it down. The layout, the images, and the overall flow of this novel make the reading experience something quirky and different compared to the countless other novels on the market.

A Wild and Unpredictable Day: A Story of Love, Adventure, and Overcoming Adversity
As Emily walked through the crowded streets of the city, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She had been on edge all day, and she couldn't quite put her finger on what was causing her anxiety.
