I've been staring at the computer screen for nearly an hour trying to come up with the right words to begin my review for the weirdest movie I have ever seen — The Lighthouse.

Produced, co-written, and directed by Robert Eggers, The Lighthouse (R; 109 minutes) is a psychological horror flick starring method actors William Dafoe and Robert Pattinson. The film was released to limited screens in October 2019 and pulled in over $13 million against a $4 million budget. It received critical acclaim with a 92% "Certified Fresh" Rotten Tomatoes rating. It's now available to own on DVD, Blu-ray, Digital, and On-Demand from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Available on Paperback & Kindle.

I became aware of author Charlaine Harris' novels after watching the first season of True Blood on DVD in 2009, and shortly later, I hunted down all of the Sookie Stackhouse titles that were out then. Those books are well-written supernatural tales with intriguing characters. I wasn't aware the author had a new series, Gunnie Rose, out until I received an ARC of A Longer Fall from NetGalley at the tail end of 2019. It turns out it's the second installment in the series. While I have no problem jumping in the middle of a series, I ended up buying the first book, An Easy Death, on Kindle when it was on sale for $1.99.

Good Morning, Everyone!

What Am I Currently Reading?

My Kindle is all charged up so I can finish reading A Longer Fall by Charlaine Harris, which is being released on Tuesday. It's the second book in the Gunnie Rose series. I just finished reading the first book, An Easy Death, a few days ago. I'll be posting a review for it sometime tomorrow. Speaking of posting reviews, I still have three books I read last year that I'll be writing reviews for this week. Later today, I'll be posting the review for the graphic novel Aliens: Rescue and and the Joker Blu-ray. After I get finished with A Longer Fall, I'll either be reading Highfire by Eoin Colfer or The Courier by Gordon J. Campbell. The latter is for a book tour and my review is scheduled for the 20th.

Why is it some so many people don't know the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" is based on the Gothic horror story Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by French author Gaston Leroux?

Originally, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (translated as The Phantom of the Opera) was published as a serial from September 23, 1909, to January 8, 1910 in the French newspaper Le Gaulois. It was published in volume form in March 1910. The book has been reprinted many times over the last century. There have even been several retelling and sequels written by other authors. Also, there have been many stage, radio, film, and television adaptations, including the classic silent film starring Lon Chaney, Sr., and 1962's Hammer Horror version.
