HORROR. Content Warning.
The old, dilapidated mansion stood at the edge of town, shrouded in an eternal fog that clung to its broken windows like ghostly fingers. Locals referred to it simply as "The Black Manor," a name whispered in hushed tones as if uttering it aloud would summon the malevolent spirits rumored to inhabit the decaying halls.

Reed Literary Horror Review of 'Beneath the Unspoiled Wilderness' (2022). Content Warning.
On the surface this is just your basic slasher novel. Some young adults go camping and something picks them off one by one. But as that plot progresses you realize there is still a ton of book left. So, after the final girl does her thing, what's left? And that enters the next phase of the book. You see, there are three distinct parts to this novel. It's not just some slasher, it's everything that would go along with it. What happens to the final girl after the nightmare is over is what this story is really about and it is indeed gripping. Gripping and quite tragic, I should say, without going into the spoilers.

If ‘Gremlins’ Isn’t a Christmas Movie, Then Just What Is?
When I tell people that Gremlins, the 80’s classic from director Joe Dante, writer Chris Columbus, and producer Steven Spielberg, is my favorite Christmas movie, plenty of people inevitably scoff. I get told that it’s not a “real” Christmas movie, even though it seems to tick every box that a Christmas movie should. So why do so many think it doesn’t count? If Gremlins isn’t a Christmas movie, what is? Surely a movie doesn’t have to take place at the North Pole and star Santa himself in order to be considered a proper Christmas movie, does it? Some of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time acknowledge the nonexistence of Santa Claus, but that hardly disqualifies them in the public eye. So what is it about Gremlins specifically that makes people dismiss it? While people will probably be debating Die Hard’s eligibility as a true Christmas movie until the end of time, allow me to present my case for Gremlins, my very favorite Christmas movie.

Unforeseen Circumstances
The forest smelt strongly of pine and wild onion as they meandered like hunters through the overgrowth, hacking back the bushes. It was as if they were looking for a missing puzzle piece or a rare and fabled jewel. In truth, they were stalking one of the escaped Velociraptors, another human error that had cost the life of one more park ranger.
