“Them,” set in the 1950s, centers on a black family who moves from their home in North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood during a period known as “The Great Migration.” The family’s new idyllic home soon becomes ground zero for racial prejudice, malevolent otherworldly forces, and other evils that threaten to ravage and destroy them. Honestly, I didn’t make it through the premiere episode on my first try. I couldn’t finish it. I was left emotional and heartbroken. It took me several days to try again, this time I lasted through the end of the premiere and two more episodes before I folded and gave up again. My heart couldn’t take it. A day or two later, I was determined to see it through. I was left angry and depressed, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Billed as a horror series, the show is more about the horrors African Americans have faced than about scares

Ahead of her return to the Scream franchise in next year’s movie simply titled Scream, Courtney Cox is set to star in the recently-announced horror-comedy series “Shining Vale,” which has now received a series order from Starz. And we’ve got the first image (via Bloody-Disgusting). “Shining Vale” centers on a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town, not knowing their new home was the site of terrible atrocities. But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed— turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. The eight-episode first season is from Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan also stars Greg Kinnear as Pat’s sweet husband, Terry; Mira Sorvino plays the role of Rosemary, Pat’s alter ego; Gus Birney and Dylan Gage play Pat and Terry’s kids.

Plot Austrian Spencer attacks his plot head on and it is powerful. This book really is unlike any other book I have read, it is strange, unique, gritty, difficult, beautiful, and phenomenal. Obviously a book about death is not a new concept, but the way that Spencer builds his story around this topic is where the uniqueness sits. I have often found (and enjoyed) authors using common horror tropes and putting their own spins on accepted mythologies, but this novel does so much more. It made me think not only about death, but about the inevitability, pain, variety, and reality of HOW death happens…and what comes next. This book digs deep into what death is and what happens surrounding this universally shared experience. Characters Much like with his plot, Spencer avoids using stock or stereotypical characters. Each character is strong and realistic. There are no filler characters. It must have been absolutely painstaking to fully flush out each character’s story,
