Book Riot has selected '7 of the Creepiest Cats of Speculative Genre Fiction':
Cat Out of Hell by Lynne Truss (Roger) 
Take this title for what it is. Alec Charlesworth, a former librarian alone and down on his luck, takes in a stray cat. This particular cat is older than Methuselah (thanks to its nine lives) and has been battling an archnemesis through the ages and all around the world, entangled with a Satanic cat-cult. This sharp tongue-in-cheek tale about the dark secret lives of cats gave me strong Wuthering Heights vibes from start to finish. (Emily Wenstrom)
The Nerd Daily interviews writer Laura Marks.
Do you have a favorite movie of all time and/or a favorite book? Why are these your favorites?
I’m kind of obsessed with Charlotte Brontë’s books. Her plotting is so insane, and I love how her heroines are always roiling with bottled-up emotion. Her work was a huge influence on Daphne Byrne, for sure. (Stephanie Elliot)
Diario de Sevilla (Spain) gets it right when putting Jane Austen in context.
Austen era una neoclásica que fundía el juicio racionalista y la sensibilidad (contenida en los límites de la razón) del coetáneo romanticismo: nació en 1775, poco después de que Fielding, Defoe y Richardson murieran, y falleció en 1817, cuando Gaskell, Trollope, Dickens, las Brontë o Thackeray eran aún niños, coetánea de Byron y de Shelley, pero situada en las antípodas de sus románticos excesos. (Carlos Colón) (Translation)
TN (Argentina) features author Zadie Smith.
“Antes creía que, si los demás se identificaban con lo que yo escribía [como mujer negra], igual que yo me reconocí en Jane Eyre o Madame Bovary, sentirían más empatía. Lo sobreestimé. Ahora ya no lo pienso”, asegura Smith, que retoma así la oscura y sombría conclusión que da fin a su libro. (Translation)
MadmoiZelle (France) comments on The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Oui, The Haunting of Bly Manor est une histoire d’amour.
De celles que se racontaient nos parents en se fréquentant en cachette, de celles qu’on lisait dans les livres des sœurs Brontë ou dans les pièces de Shakespeare. (Kalindi Ramphul) (Translation)
