"The Haunted House on the Corner of Elm Street". Content Warning.
In a sleepy little town, on the corner of Elm Street, stood an old and gloomy building known as the "Haunted House." Over the decades, the townspeople carefully avoided passing by it at night, and by day frowned and were happy to go around the street corner to avoid seeing the corner of cracked walls and broken windows. The story behind the house said that the place was cursed, that it had witnessed terrible events, and that ghosts and stray spirits roamed the place unhindered. But, as happens in many such places, not everyone believed in superstitions, and a brave young man named David decided to find out the truth about the "Haunted House".

Dune is Not About Oil
The prompt for the Book Club challenge is funny because it was David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation that introduced me to Dune. Dune was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was one of my top picks at the library, besides all the Star Trek and Universal monster movies I could get my hands on. My love for the Dune universe grew in the 90s, with the books from Brian Herbert. Despite this, I would not read the first novel until 2017. Why, I am unsure. Since then I have dove as deep into the Dune universe as I can. I still have not finished the original series, due to a combination of work and school. Well, also after acquiring a copy of the encyclopedia, I decided I wanted to have the time to sit and read the series with that as my companion. Because if Dune does nothing else, it raises a lot of questions for the reader. Both in and out of the universe.

The Moral Labyrinth: A Journey Through “Crime and Punishment”
Reading "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky was a transformative experience for me, largely because it engages deeply with fundamental human questions—of morality, justice, and the internal conflicts that define us. Originally published in 1866, the novel plunges into the psyche of Raskolnikov, a young, impoverished student in St. Petersburg, who convinces himself that he is an extraordinary man, above conventional ethics and laws. This delusion drives him to murder an old pawnbroker, an act that becomes the catalyst for a grueling journey through guilt, torment, and eventual spiritual awakening.
