I have interviewed hundreds of horror writers from all across the genre’s wide spectrum, and when asked for their inspirations and their gateways to fearful fiction, so many leap immediately to King. ![]() But for millions of readers and writers, he is our North Star, our Southern Cross. Such prolificacy has often led to sniffing criticism from those who consider him “merely” a horror writer (as if horror is anything “mere”). Almost everything he has ever written has been optioned or adapted for the screen, in some cases several times. King has regularly published two or three books per year, a stream of words that flows incessantly west towards Hollywood. He arrived during a resurgent interest in all things frightening–following the success of Ira Levin's Rosemary’s Baby (1967) and William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist (1971)-and quickly set about reshaping the genre in his own image. ![]() ![]() Since the publication of his first novel Carrie, just shy of fifty years ago, King has held dominion over the landscape of horror.

They discovered that it was emitting a slew of radiation and that high-energy X-rays, known as hard X-rays, revealed the Cow was likely a "compact body" such as a black hole consuming material or a neutron star, a type of failed black hole that is incredibly dense and has an extreme gravitational force. But the Cow didn't produce the same amount of cosmic ejecta as is usually seen, which meant Margutti's team were able to dive in to the "engine" of the explosion and poke around.Īs a result, the team were also able to study the Cow's profile for its first 100 days, long after the initial light faded. Typically, a supernova results in an opaque bubble of debris that prevents astronomers from seeing and investigating what is happening within. The reason Margutti and her team believe the explosion was stellar in origin is because of the unusual X-ray observations the saw. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "An impeccably researched, powerfully reimagined tale of sacrifice and success, love and selfishness, and war and independence.Riley’s storytelling skills shine."- Atlanta Journal-Constitution Utterly brilliant, powerful, and inspiring.”- Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of Always the Last to Know “This book is not only a one-sitting read, it’s a slice of history that needs to be told. ![]() ONE OF USA TODAY'S "BEST BOOKS OF SUMMER!"Īcclaimed author of Island Queen Vanessa Riley brings readers a vivid, sweeping novel of the Haitian Revolution based on the true-life stories of two extraordinary women: the first Empress of Haiti, Marie-Claire Bonheur, and Gran Toya, a West African-born warrior who helped lead the rebellion that drove out the French and freed the enslaved people of Haiti. ![]() ![]() Her ordeal and trauma could’ve affected her negatively, but instead, her experience with Gerry out on the streets provided her with a clarity and strength she never knew she had. There was some really interesting stuff with Jen, who seemed throughout this series to be trapped in a job she didn’t want (thanks to her mother), and in a relationship she probably knew was a bad idea. The first half of the series finale dealt with the agonising aftermath of Gerry’s shooting and the waiting to see if he’d pull through. ![]() Blue Lights did not – a ballsy, bold move indeed, you could say, but also a decision that directly affected the character development of people like Tommy and Jen, especially Tommy and Jen. Many series would’ve taken the easy way out and had him survive. Shot at the end of episode five, it was in the balance whether this loveable rogue would survive. In many ways, what a lot of fans wanted from the finale of this six-part cop show was a resolution to the fate of Gerry Cliff. ![]() |
