5 Books to Read if You're Starting a Film Degree
Everyone knows that there are lists and lists of stuff out there for people like you, starting your degree in film. Everyone knows that there are films you "should" watch repeatedly if you are studying a degree in film. Everyone knows that there are some film theories that you must by all means, know if you're about to start a degree in film. But, what people rarely discuss is the books that you can read to further your knowledge of the subject. Some people think that film is simply about watching films and writing about them. As someone who majored in film for their MA, I can tell you that this is not the case and that film is a lot more complicated than that. Let me quickly explain:

Five Terrifying Films That Aren’t of the Horror Genre
There are many different scary films out there, including: horror, thriller, and gore. Even international films can be frightening from time to time. There are also an incredible amount of ways to create horror or terror. For example, you could have some of the following:

Five Books I Was Obsessed with When I Was 16
Okay, so when I was 16 I went on one massive paperback horror binge. Every now and again this happens, and I end up scaring myself half to death, but guess what... I absolutely love it. I love everything scary and frightening. I love urban legends and horror movies; I love horror literature, and I think that the best horror stories are written by random people online because it is.

Five Books I Was Obsessed with When I Was 21
At age 21, I was just as a prolific reader as I am now, and as I have always been. I have always loved reading, writing, reading other people's writing and sometimes, I have myself opened a Pandora's Box of reading when discovering something new. Once, when I was in university, I basically blurted out in class that I don't mind reading anyone's writing for any writing module they had, and feeding back information on what I thought, etc. Everyone ended up sending me their work, but I gotta say—I had a lot of reading for the next week or so. I was a happy little woman, for the time being.

The Greatest Books That Didn't Win the Booker Prize
Sometimes, we don't always get what we want in terms of winnings. Sometimes we're supporting a certain book and it doesn't win even after being shortlisted, and even when it is the favourite to win. Sometimes, we don't like the book that won the award and that's okay too. We don't always have to like everything, but sometimes they do go too far with it.

50 Greatest Short Stories of All Time
For as long as writing has been around, short stories have been around as well. A Short Story is mostly defined as a story that has all the themes, characters and plots that would be considered for a novel but, it just does not have the length of one. Most people consider it to be around 1'600 to 20'000 words in length and so, it is much short than what a novel would be considered to be.

The Greatest Booker Prize Winning Books of All Time
The Booker Prize, formerly the Man Booker Prize, is one of the most important events of the year for people like me. It is a prize offered for some of the best books written in the year. I love learning about the new books out every year and with the winners, you can definitely see what the reading trends are across the world and, with political and social climates, you can probably tell why.

My 5 Favourite Authors of All Time
As we know by now, I love to read. And although I did Film and Writing for my MA, I still did Literature for my BA and I still love to read as much as I love to analyse horror films. When it comes down to it, literature is quite possibly one of the greatest mediums for entertainment ever. People who think that reading is boring are they kinds of people you do not need in your life. Literature is amazing and authors are the creators of it.

Five Books I Was Obsessed with When I Was 18
When I was 18, I had this weird thing called, "I have no friends, but I have a ton of books, so I guess I'm good..." And in reality, we call that being a nerd. To break it down, I used to read and eat cheese in great amounts—so, not so much different to today, then.

The Greatest Ghost Stories Ever Written
Ghost stories are often called some of the scariest pieces of writing of all time, and they make up a great majority of the horror genre. Written from the beginning of literature onwards, people have always been interested in the movements of those who are already gone and have written many stories for and about them. Some are based on real experiences, some are completely fictitious (well, you better hope they are) and some have grounding in historical or fantastical realities.
