Sleep Like Death
by Kalynn Bayron
In the same way that Kalynn Bayron reimagined Cinderella, now she’s reimagined Snow White, turning it into a slasher dripping in tension, magic and Queer Black strength and joy. This is how you make fairytales into something fresh and exciting.
From the New York Times bestselling author of TikTok sensation Cinderella Is Dead, comes a dark fantasy twist on the classic fairy tale Snow White.
Princess Eve was raised with one purpose: to destroy the Knight. Far too many of subjects of Queen’s Bridge have been devastated by this evil sorcerer’s trickery. Eve’s own unique magic—the ability to conjure weapons from nature—makes her a worthy adversary.
As she approaches her seventeenth birthday, Eve is ready to battle. But her mother, Queen Regina, has been acting bizarrely, talking to a strange mirror alone every night. Then a young man claiming to be the Knight’s messenger appears and shares a shocking truth about Eve’s past. Unsure of who to trust, Eve must find the courage to do what she’s always done: fight. But will it be enough to save her family and her queendom?

Review of 'The Last Tiger'
A Korean inspired historical fantasy, The Last Tiger follows two young loves on two sides of a bubbling revolution. The Last Tiger is not only inspired by history but it is also inspired by the authors grandparents lives in Korea during the Japanese occupation. Adding in a fantasy element the authors took many liberties that paint a very profound story and invoke a lot of emotion from the reader.

Golden's Bridge Mom Hangs in There with New Book on Raising Teenagers
See John Jay Crowd Shots and all Winter Photos Below When Ali Flynn became an empty nester in September 2025, it wasn’t the sight of her twins leaving that brought finality. Out food shopping, the mother of four realized that she had no idea how much broccoli to buy. “I started crying,” Flynn remembered. Broccoli obviously not the point, the feelings are, and the angst and joy of raising teenagers is meant to be shared as a form of support. So that’s just what the Golden’s Bridge mom has done.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
