Are you into horror movies like me❔ Personally, I love a good scare. But not all horror movies are worth watching. Some are just a loud jump-scare ride that you forget the next day, but others stay with you for a long time and explore deeper themes! Here are three of my favorite horrors. 1. Hereditary (2018) The movie has a pretty disturbing premise about family trauma. And there's a pretty gruesome moment in a car that just shocks you. However, at its core, it's still a horror about demons and ...

Unfortunately, I'm on vacation in Egypt these days (they have top sheets here!), and I've been reading this sci-fi book, called The Goblin Reservation. It's perfect read for a vacation! It has time travel, a neanderthal scientist, a ghost and a sabertooth (саблезуб), and a mysterious artefact, and, of course, goblins! I noticed an interesting phrase there: “You want something to drink, I take it.” “I take it,” said the waiter, “that when I lug the bottle over here, you’ll have the cash to pay fo...
