Review of 'A House with Good Bones'
"Mom seems off." Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone. She brushes the thought away as she climbs the front steps. Sam's excited for this rare extended visit, and looking forward to nights with just the two of them, drinking boxed wine, watching murder mystery shows, and guessing who the killer is long before the characters figure it out. But stepping inside, she quickly realizes home isn’t what it used to be. Gone is the warm, cluttered charm her mom is known for; now the walls are painted a sterile white. Her mom jumps at the smallest noises and looks over her shoulder even when she’s the only person in the room. And when Sam steps out back to clear her head, she finds a jar of teeth hidden beneath the magazine-worthy rose bushes, and vultures are circling the garden from above.

Super Santa: an hero we deserve
When you think of superheroes, the image that comes to mind is probably a muscular man in a skin-tight suit with a cape flowing behind them as they soar through the sky. But what if I told you that there was a superhero who didn't quite fit that mold? What if I told you that there was a hero who was a fat old man wearing a blue Santa Claus costume?
