Two women are in black riding habits warily step in to a bedchamber. The haunting may be the rats on the other side of the bed.

Two women are in black riding habits warily step in to a bedchamber. The haunting may be the rats on the other side of the bed.

Allegedly, 'A Visit to the Haunted Chamber' by William Frederick Yeames (1869) depicts Anne Boleyn's bedroom in Hever Castle.

Elizabeth Boyer wrote a novel about Marguerite that I haven't read, I liked ISOLA very much, and I drew on Karolina Ramqvist's BEAR WOMAN quite a bit for my chapter. And of course it's not about Marguerite but everyone loves Marian Engel's BEAR :)

Nope, sorry Colin, this is my beat. (Adams is also on record noting that City Hall is haunted. These are the only two things he's ever said that made any sense.)

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips

Holiday Hot Take Number 2:

The Brits are wrong.

But only because, as a Christmas film scholar, my honest hot take is that you don't get to tell someone else what constitutes a Christmas film for them. If it's part of your Christmas tradition, it's a Christmas film.

Are ghosts open source?

Reddit? Substack/Ghost? Who's the Robert Sietsema of travel right now? I cannot begin to wade through the thousands and thousands of bloggers and social media travel influencers and I imagine I am not alone in this feeling.

What's a traveler looking for recommendations to do these days? 90% of AI suggestions are non-existent, out of date, or inaccurate. You can't count on TripAdvisor, as they only push places that pay top commissions. There's almost no traditional media left. So where do folks go for real information?

Women didn’t ruin the workplace. Capitalism did When your debate centers on whether women should exist in public, you’ve already lost.

Did women ruin the workplace? No! Did I personally ruin my own weekend writing about the cynical fuckery that led to the New York Times asking that question? I sure did!

Huge thanks to @moiradonegan.bsky.social for lending her expertise and insight to my ranting

For National Cat Day, my favorite kitty-Hollywood connection: 152 black cats (and their owners) auditioning for the title role in a film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” (LIFE magazine, 1961).

A Lifelong Upper West Sider says: "I was excited by the prospect of an UWS ghost tour, but also apprehensive that it might just be a rehash of history and stories that I already know. I was pleasantly surprised to also learn many new spooky things about my neighborhood." This is HUGE praise.
