And yet, much like pumpkin and coffee, these two very different flavors can work together to create something even better. One is about scaring you with monsters and ambiance, and the other is about delighting you with goofs and wordplay. You might think that horror and comedy are natural adversaries, as far as genres go. May 2022 Book of the Month: Horrorstr by Grady Hendrix: Jessica: 1 8: 02:33PM Goodreads Librari.: Book cover request: Graham: 4 21: 08:44AM Challenge Corner: Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix -> Restarting July 10th, 2021: Aly: 21 30: 04:47PM Lettori sui generis: Mini GdL: Horrorstr di Grady Hendrix. Because you can't get murdered while laughing, right? Here are a few of the best books that the horror-comedy genre has to offer. But I'm also, unfortunately, an enormous chicken who is very easily scared.This poorly thought out combination of character traits has driven me to seek out those oh-so-rare books that manage to walk the line between creepy and funny. My favorite thing in the world is to curl up on a rainy autumn afternoon and think about demons. I'll be honest with you, fellow book-lovers: on September 1st of every year I burn all my bathing suits, give away all my fun beach reads, and build myself a fort made of plastic skeletons and Shirley Jackson novels to hide in until November 1st. Sherlock and Mycroft come to the estate, and treat Enola with little more consideration than a housepet, being patronizing and condescending, and planning to pack her off to boarding school.Enola, who has a mind of her own that is quite the equal steel of the brothers' (although it takes them a while to grasp this), will have none of that, and is bent on finding her mother. The tale begins with the disappearance of Enola's mother, on Enola's fourteenth birthday. Her two older brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft, live in London, and are estranged from their mother and young sister since the death of their father about a decade before. She is a late child, born when her mother was thought to be rather beyond child-bearing years. Springer has created a genuinely inspired character of depth, passion, emotion, and isn't afraid to make her fallible and and occasionally unlikeable - in other words, a believable fourteen-year-old girl.Enola is fourteen, the daughter of gentry and living in the country in 1888. The concept of a 'Sherlock Holmes Younger Sister' young adult genre could have been as dull, vapid, and predictable as - sorry - the old 'Nancy Drew' serials. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Entangled life sheldrakeThe outcome? For your community of microbes-your “microbiome”-your body is a planet. In the last four decades, new technologies have granted unprecedented access to microbial lives. The second field of research that has guided me in this inquiry concerns the way we think about the microscopic organisms-or microbes-that cover every inch of the planet. As they soften, our ruinous attitudes toward the more-than-human world may start to change. Yet many are capable of sophisticated behaviors that prompt us to think in new ways about what it means for organisms to “solve problems,” “communicate,” “make decisions,” “learn,” and “remember.” As we do so, some of the vexed hierarchies that underpin modern thought start to soften. Too often, they are thought of as the inert backdrop to animal life. Because these organisms don’t look like us or outwardly behave like us-or have brains-they have traditionally been allocated a position somewhere at the bottom of the scale. According to these anthropocentric definitions, humans are always at the top of the intelligence rankings, followed by animals that look like us (chimpanzees, bonobos, etc.), followed again by other “higher” animals, and onward and downward in a league table-a great chain of intelligence drawn up by the ancient Greeks, which persists one way or another to this day. Classical scientific definitions of intelligence use humans as a yardstick by which all other species are measured. “Whether one calls slime molds, fungi, and plants “intelligent” depends on one’s point of view.
