Books: American Scary and House Plants and Their F*cked Up Thoughts

Today we are talking about American Scary by Jeremy Dauber. This extremely comprehensive book about the horror genre covers all forms of media from books and comics to streaming shows, video games, and everything in between. It talks about numerous authors, screenwriters, and more some of whom most people have probably heard of like Stephen King and Wes Craven but also many of whom most people are not familiar with. It delves into the specifics of numerous books, TV shows, movies, etc.  Accordingly, there are spoilers so you might want to keep that in mind if you read it.  If you are a fan of horror, you're really going to love this book. Even if if you're not it is still a fascinating read. 

Today we are recommending House Plants and Their F*cked Up Thoughts by Carlyle Christoff and Elizabeth Saake Within this snarky missive written as though it was told by the plants themselves is some real information about plants (I would double check on the ediblity before eating any of them, however as the author themselve recommends). Even if you don't care about plants at all, this book is a fun read.

Movies: Spirit of Friendship

Today we are recommending The Spirit of Friendship. This is a nice family film although not for the youngest of children who may be frightened by its subject matter, It is a story within a story about a pair of siblings dealing with the death of their grandfather who are helped by their father's recounting of meeting a man who helped him deal with his mother's death.

Although there are some typical movie cliches, there aren't as many as you would think. It is surprisingly and refreshingly unpredictable in a lot of ways. Plus, it is full of really nice moments of friendship between kids. 

The Spirit of Friendship is available for purchase or rental digitally now.

And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Where-To-Go Wednesday,
