Saw Dan Chaon sign copies of his new novel, ONE OF US, at Twisted Spine. The store was hopping. There’s an expertly curated selection of horror & horror-adjacent books; a patio & an indoor cafe. The staff is unbelievingly knowledgeable & kind. Visiting is a joyful experience. Please donate.

Loved her in Present Laughter. She was also great in Faith Healer with Michael Sheen and David Threlfall. It’s from the Old Vic’s pandemic series, In Camera.
