I knew it was going to be my kind of book when Alice befriended an axe murderer on page six. I’m a simple girl; the way to my heart is through a little bloodshed and a good old fashioned insane asylum. What can I say? The Valentine’s Day spirit got to me. Nothing screams “I love you, honey” like a […]
Remember all of those posts you saw on Facebook about the new year?

If Adam Lambert and Freddie Mercury had a baby, it would be Panic! At The Disco. The operatic pop-punk band’s newest album Death of a Bachelor is nothing less than theatrical and dramatic. This is the first album for Panic! At the Disco since the original drummer and co-founder of the band, Spencer Smith, announced that he was leaving the […]

Usually, when “Marvel” pops on the screen, I know it’s time to change the channel. The flashy costumes, grotesque visual effects, and ridiculous battle scenes are a little juvenile for my liking. Jessica Jones is a different story. The Netflix show is completely adult, and even a little dark and ugly, featuring themes of abuse, sexual assault, and mental illness. […]

When I first walked into the movie theater, the first thing that hit me was that my friend and I were basically the only teenagers in the entire room. Suddenly, I was unsure of our movie choice— was the Intern not appropriate for teens? But as the lights dimmed, I dismissed all my worries and focused on the opening scene. […]
When Disclosure released their first album, Settle, in 2013, I was hooked. Their creative blend of deep house beats and electronic pop sounded like the work of much more experienced musicians, and they quickly won over thousands of fans, myself included. The young British brothers are still relatively new to the music scene, but within months they picked up a […]

Taxidermy, wheelchairs, and the name Edith have all officially been ruined for me. With Halloween fast approaching, there’s no better way to get into the season than reading the deeply disturbing and uniquely terrifying novel, The House of Small Shadows by Adam Nevill. It’s the profoundly macabre story of Catherine Howard, a woman who is offered the job to appraise […]
“Summertime Sadness” is a poor representation of Lana Del Rey. I never listened to her other songs, so all I knew of her was that song that made the Billboard Hot 100 from 2012. But when I gave her newest album Honeymoon a shot, I discovered the true Lana Del Rey: an artist with a passion for love, a cinematically […]
