Reevaluating Social Norms: From Workaholism to Fast Fashion
Workaholism, characterized by an excessive and uncontrollable need to work, has become a socially endorsed behavior in many modern societies, particularly in Western cultures. This phenomenon is often justified by the idea that hard work leads to success and prosperity. However, an increasing body of evidence suggests that the culture of workaholism has significant negative implications for individuals' health and societal well-being. Studies have shown that chronic overworking can lead to physical ailments such as hypertension and heart disease, as well as mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is crucial to reevaluate the merit of workaholism as a social norm and consider more balanced approaches to work-life integration.

The Repercussions of Telling Big Little Lies. Content Warning.
While I am an avid consumer of horror stories and films as my most recent publications have indicated, I also enjoy stories that aren’t considered horror, but that might have a darker edge or underlying weight to them that could be considered to be real world horror. An author I’ve only begun to read over the last two years or so is Liane Moriarty, who has become a known name in the last few years. I’ve read only four so far, they each have packed a punch not unlike the powerful prose of Jodi Picoult, while still having her own unique voice that’s really unforgettable. Where I started with her body of work is where I think many have started due to its popularity as well as the subsequent limited series with HBO. This book is Big Little Lies. Before reading this novel I had heard a great deal of buzz about it. Friends were telling me to watch the limited series. Reviews for the novel as well as the limited series were showing up online left and right. When I did finally read this book, I wasn’t prepared for what I ultimately read.

Lisey's Disappointing Story
I’ve made it clear in previous reviews that I’m a big fan of Stephen King. I’ve read most of his body of work, seen the film and TV adaptations, and I even have a half sleeve tattooed on my right arm as a tribute to him and his work. This is why for me, it’s a bummer that I didn’t enjoy Lisey’s Story as much as I really wanted to upon my reading of the book.

A Frightening Look Inside "The Store". Content Warning.
There are many horror writers that have tingled the spines of so many readers. The biggest name among them, is Stephen King, and justifiably so. His work has been the ultimate escape for me as a reader and inspiration in regards to my own goals as a fiction writer. However, with all of this being said, there is a name that has in a short amount of time become another inspirational outlet. His name is Bentley Little, and he makes King’s feel like something out of Disney when it comes to disturbing the reader. King would likely agree, since he himself has dubbed Little “the horror poet laureate.” Now let’s talk about why.

The Raw, Brutal Power Of Martyrs. Content Warning.
Horror takes many forms. There’s creature feature horror. There’s psychological horror. There’s body horror. With a genre of story telling where there are little to no rules, anything can be done. Anything can be said. And anyone can push the limits of what is too much just to the very edge. The French film Martyrs from 2008 depicts in its own way all of these subgenres but in a way that puts it in a genre all its own, and comes just close to going too far. Although some see it as going well past our perceived limits of disturbing content.
