When a Novelist Carries On What Another Novelist Started

admin

Elizabeth Hand’s “A Haunting on the Hill” (Mulholland) is, the book jacket notes, “the first novel authorized to return to the world of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House.” Authorized—by whom? Not by Jackson, who died in 1965, but by her heirs. “A Haunting on the Hill” is, therefore, a ghost story conjured by representatives of a deceased author’s estate. It all sounds a little uncanny.

Isn’t that the case, though, whenever we try to resurrect dead writers?

admin

At least 260 bodies have been found by rescuers after Hamas opened fire on Israeli partygoers at a music festival near the Gaza Strip yesterday morning, with emergency workers calling the scene a ‘massacre’. 

Terrified festivalgoers first realised something was wrong when a siren began blaring at dawn warning of rockets. Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity before firing rockets and blasting gunshots from jeeps they drove onto the site. 

Yesterday Israel suffered its deadliest attack in decades, as Hamas

Affiliate Marketing Beginners Guide (How To Get Started)

admin

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways you can make a passive stream of income.

You don’t need to have a website or even be a social media influencer – you only need to be a creative marketer.

One of my favorite examples from a conference about 12 or so years ago was someone who used affiliate links for dating programs by setting up road signs in heavy rush-hour traffic areas.

As people drove home from work and sat

What Really Started the Great Chicago Fire?

admin

In the age of climate change, “natural disaster” is more of a misnomer than ever. We can absolve ourselves of responsibility for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes (except the ones caused by fracking). But the lengthening hurricane season, the floods, and the droughts? They’ve got our fingerprints all over them. Higher average temperatures and drier vegetation are making wildfires burn hotter and break out more frequently—a development that was hard to ignore this past summer. Smoke from Canadian wildfires in June

Troye Sivan entblößt sich in einer X-bewerteten Nacktszene für das Musikvideo „Got Me Started“.

admin

Troye Sivan hat sich für sein neues Musikvideo ganz ausgezogen.

In einem Teaser, der vor der Veröffentlichung seiner neuen Single „Got Me Started“ auf Instagram geteilt wurde, wurde der 28-jährige Sänger völlig nackt und nass an einem Pool sitzend gezeigt.

Troye ist mit so gestellten Beinen und Armen dargestellt, dass sein Intimbereich nicht vollständig sichtbar ist, aber die Szene ließ wenig der Fantasie freien Lauf.

Andere Szenen aus dem in Bangkok ansässigen Video zeigten sich streichelnde und küssende Paare und

‘Is it bad that I smoke cannabis with my children?’ I’m a teacher and my husband is a banker… and we started smoking weed with our daughter and son in lockdown

At first glance, it seems like the perfect family tableau, four heads bent diligently over the living room coffee table, parents and children working together in harmony. But we’re not doing a jigsaw, or building property empires in Monopoly. No, we’re assembling something else entirely.

Because the idea of a cosy night in for my family — me, my husband Johnny, 24-year-old daughter Maisie and son Dan, 20 — is to buy a gram of marijuana, roll a joint and

I started dieting at 48 and tried everything from ice therapy to hypnosis… until I realised the damaging message I was sending to my children, writes DEBORAH JOSEPH

Recently, I found myself in a —115C, human-sized freezer, wearing a black swimming costume, a woolly ear-muffed hat, thermal gloves and socks and dancing to the 1990s Vanilla Ice hit rap song Ice Ice Baby.

Bizarre, I know, but I was in Austria at the MAYRLIFE clinic, known for helping celebrities to improve their gut health and ultimately lose weight. 

I was there for a body and mind reset, having failed to put healthy eating and exercise on my priority

After a year of gruelling treatment for leukaemia, doctors told Jane Samuel and her partner, Lesley, that their daughter, Kate, was through the worst — the relief, says Jane, was ‘indescribable’.

They were even able to take Kate and her twin sister, Anna, on holiday, to Bluestone, Pembrokeshire — the first family trip since Kate had been diagnosed aged just five.

But within weeks of their return, Kate developed headaches and started vomiting. Tests showed that the cancer had returned
