Opening the Illegal Book: Lovecraft's Necronomicon
In the shadowy domain of speculative fiction, hardly any names convey as much weight as H.P. Lovecraft. His stories of enormous repulsiveness and the unbelievable obscure have woven themselves into the texture of present-day ghastly writing. Among his numerous commitments, one stands out as both an impetus and a mystery—the Necronomicon. This made-up grimoire, a book of dim customs, sorcery, and peculiar sciences, has risen above Lovecraft's accounts, starting a conviction that it might have once existed. As we dig into the dim profundities of the Necronomicon's set of experiences, an embroidery of secrets, shared universes, and true interest unfurls.

Early Agatha Christie Explored
One of my reading goals is to read my way through the collection of various favorite authors I have. My parents were both huge fans of Agatha Christie, and they were the ones who introduced me to her murder mysteries when I was a teenager. I was excited to return to the beginning with her debut novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

Pencil Lines and Plotlines. Top Story - December 2023.
This year, I dove into a few graphic novels - I wanted to mix things up since I have been reading an average of over 60 books a year. I thought it would be nice to expand my literary horizons and slip back to a genre that I was comfortable with from the beginning.

What if you entered in a white hole?
A black hole is a celestial phenomenon characterized by its immense gravitational pull, which prevents anything from escaping its grasp. However, there is a possibility of a mysterious counterpart known as a white hole, which is believed to be equally powerful. Unlike black holes, white holes do not allow anything to enter, but instead constantly expel matter into the universe. Some scientists speculate that white holes could be connected to black holes, serving as the other side of the same cosmic entity. While we have observed and even captured images of black holes, we have yet to find any evidence of their white counterparts. However, recent discoveries of peculiar gamma-ray bursts have provided scientists with potential clues. Gamma-ray bursts are incredibly energetic events that release as much energy in a short period as our sun does in its entire lifetime. These bursts are typically associated with the birth of a black hole. However, one particular gamma-ray burst, known as grb060614, exhibited unusual behaviors. It appeared suddenly and collapsed rapidly, behaving differently from the typical afterglow associated with black holes. This discovery has sparked further investigation into the existence of white holes and their potential connection to black holes.
