The Literary Horizon: At the Mountains of Madness, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

Horror! Not a genre I’m particularly well-read in. You see, I’m squeamish. It’s the reason that despite my love for Peter Jackson as a director, I’ve yet to see his earlier stuff. (Heavenly Creatures flirts with horror, but doesn’t ultimately go there. That’s quite a good film, by the way, I recommend it.) But there’s still horror on my reading list, because why read if you’re not going to challenge yourself?

The Literary Horizon: The Lifecycle of Software Objects, Ready Player One

I was all excited to pair Ready Player One with Mogworld—look, two different ways of utilizing video games in fiction!—before I realized that I’d already featured Mogworld, excited as I am to read it.
