Love On The Brain - Science and Romance (Who Can Beat That?)
Hey all! And welcome back for another book review by yours truly! This time I'm doing a review on a book that is all science and love (without the misogyny and mansplaining). I know that sounds impossible, right? To be honest, this book does have a bit of that, but only really to critique it.

Tales From The Gas Station Volume 1-3 (Book Review)
Surrealistic fiction is a minor genre that denotes to stories where the fantastical and the absurd happens oftentimes in a seemingly contemporary, ordinary-like, setting, to the point that such absurdity becomes normal to the characters and the world itself. Inspired by early 20th century surrealistic art (originating from the mind of the great Salvadore Dali), it’s no question that surrealistic fiction is most common in comics and animated films and shows, like Regular Show, One Punch Man, and Scott Pilgrim. The genre sometimes overlap with other similar categories like post-modern fiction, parody, metahumor, pop culture fiction, and of course, comedy.

Casino Royale (Book Review)
There’s no denying how much James Bond has become an icon of popular culture. His impact can be seen simply from his lines, appearances, drinks, cars, girls, and the enemies he has to face. His influence in the spy fiction genre is also unmatched, and he is the trope codifier of the genre as equivalent to Sherlock Holmes when it comes to detective fiction and Superman when it comes to superhero fiction. Most people know James Bond from his successful films — a series that spans generations and beloved by critics, fans, and any other average consumer. But these films are mere adaptations. Bond first came to life in the novels of the great Ian Fleming. If the movie series is acclaimed by many, what about the James Bond novels?

My Review of "Seinfeld: Season 8"
Seinfeld: Season 8 came out during the years of 1996 and 1997. This season is a bit of a departure from the rest of the seasons. It feels like they revamped the show as there are a lot of changes in the show. They still have the same sense of quirky dark comedy in there but there are some noticable changes. Even the actors seemed to have had some makeovers themselves that make it feel like this season happened a few years after the last season.

Review of 'The Honeys'
From Ryan La Sala, the wildly popular author of Reverie, comes a twisted and tantalizing horror novel set amidst the bucolic splendor of a secluded summer retreat. Mars has always been the lesser twin, the shadow to his sister Caroline's radiance. But when Caroline dies under horrific circumstances, Mars is propelled to learn all he can about his once-inseparable sister who'd grown tragically distant. Mars's genderfluidity means he's often excluded from the traditions — and expectations — of his politically-connected family. This includes attendance at the prestigious Aspen Conservancy Summer Academy where his sister poured so much of her time. But with his grief still fresh, he insists on attending in her place. What Mars finds is a bucolic fairytale not meant for him. Folksy charm and sun-drenched festivities camouflage old-fashioned gender roles and a toxic preparatory rigor. Mars seeks out his sister's old friends: a group of girls dubbed the Honeys, named for the beehives they maintain behind their cabin. They are beautiful and terrifying — and Mars is certain they're connected to Caroline's death. But the longer he stays at Aspen, the more the sweet mountain breezes give way to hints of decay. Mars’s memories begin to falter, bleached beneath the relentless summer sun. Something is hunting him in broad daylight, toying with his mind. If Mars can't find it soon, it will eat him alive.

My Life In Movies
Movies have always been my first love. As much as I enjoy writing fiction these days, I came to that through a lifetime of enjoying movies; studying movies; writing about movies; getting angry at strangers on the internet about movies…you get the idea. It was attempts to write screenplays that got me here, on Vocal, sharing short fiction, so I thought I might mix up the two loves and try a series of film based articles. Those of you who have read my fiction will no doubt see a clear line connecting the two things.
