As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

The obvious advantage of streaming over movie theater movies is you can watch them at home. The secret weapon of the streamers, particularly when it comes to movies where the characters have strong accents: subtitles.

BEHIND, by Bentley Little: As with most of this guy's wonderful books, the prosaic world slides into more surreal territory and then into the batshit horrific. Pirhanas in a backyard swimming pool? Check. A mummy in a Brentwood business building? Check. It gets darker.

THE ENDING WRITES ITSELF, by Evelyn Clarke: Clearly in the running for the best mystery novel of 2026 (it bows in April). A trove of tropes that mystery-lovers will love, right down to the dark and stormy night in its climax. Funny and scary. It will remind you of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.
