Today, May 27th 2025 is Stephen King Day, his new book is here. This time it’s a thriller, maybe more of a Whodunnit, something he’s never properly tried before but the downside for me is that it’s more of Holly Gibney, a character who’s already had more than her fair share of page time but, it’s King, the master of horror, the one of many constant readers (Yes I’m One of the Many) so I’ve just got to read this, flinching or not.

One Huge DNF!! Tedious and Boring.

“The Devil is waiting in between these pages”

I’ve heard so much about how good this book is, it’s time to find out for meself…

“The suspense slips its coils around you…”

Widower Alfie is Father to twin girls, their mother Pippa was a twin herself before her recent tragic death. The girls have an imaginary friend they call Black Mamba, invisible to all except them yet Alfie is struggling to accept his daughter’s reality. Pippa’s twin Julia, a psychotherapist by day, offers her help for the girls but remembers her own past with Pippa, their own Father’s death still raw in her mind, could the past be rearing its ugly head?

Very disappointing, the ending could’ve been so much better.

A movie I knew nothing about starring nobody I’d heard of that randomly appeared on my Prime recommends, so I gave it a shot. Tbf it’s a pretty good murder mystery.

I’m a huge fan of this series, both the books and the movies but not read this one yet.

This Tv series centres on reporter Lisa Wallace who’s intent on finding the man who murdered her mother 20 years earlier. When young women start going missing and Lisa receives some interesting mail, she believes it’s the same man responsible and, with the reluctant help of the local Police, sets out to find him.

Loosely based on the unsolved murders of and disappearance of Irish women from the late 1980’s to the late 1990’s.

Starring Bruce Jones and Ricky Tomlinson, this Ken Loach comedy drama centres on job seeking mates Bob (Bruce Jones) and Tommy (Tomlinson) as they plan various money making schemes to put food on their family tables. When Bob hears of his daughter’s need for a communion dress, he goes the extra mile to obtain the funds but, unbeknownst to his wife Anne, Bob’s desperation could be very costly.

Such a good series but only ever had one season made so it’s left very open but I’m now watching this for a second time…

Pretty good this, it’s very much an Omen meets Exorcist movie. A young woman is being plagued by nightmares of a demonic ghost who’s also haunting her waking hours…

“Evil wants to be born… Now!”

The show in which Dame Helen Mirren became a household name and a series I’d never watched a single episode of until recently which angered me because this is such a good series. A Must Watch IMO
