Paste Magazine lists 'The Most Anticipated Horror Books of Fall 2024' and one of them is
Catherine the Ghost by Kathe Koja
Release Date: October 15 from Clash
Why We’re Excited: Honestly, you had me at “gothic punk remix” of Wuthering Heights, but throw in a writer like Kathe Koja turning her high-powered imagination on said remix, and I instantly want to know more. Catherine the Ghost is a book brimming with potential, whether you loved Brontë novels, ghost stories, or both.
Publisher’s Description: Cathy Earnshaw. Catherine Linton. Mother. Daughter. They never saw each other alive. In Catherine the Ghost these two young women confront loss, captivity, and the dark edge of eternity itself, to claim their full existence and share their power. With hauntings that escape the page and passion that bleeds them red, Koja crafts a tale that transcends the material plane as an eerie comfort that ghosts keep loving long past the grave. (Matthew Jackson)
9. If you could ask one author one question, what would the question be and who would you ask?
I’d like to ask Charlotte Brontë why Rochester has a crazy ex-wife in the attic and what exactly happened to her. I’m curious about Brontë’s ideas on mental health. (Penny Harrison)
Actress Kaya Scodelario recalls for
Harper's Bazaar the first time she was at the Venice Film Festival.
When we speak, Scodelario, now 32, is getting ready for the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, before attending a party with Armani Beauty. It’s the second time she’s been invited to the prestigious event, having previously attended the film festival aged just 20 to promote Andrea Arnold’s Wuthering Heights.
“It’s really nice to be back,” Scodelario tells me, as her glam squad adds the finishing touches to her look. “It’s lovely to be here as an adult and see it all over again!” (Kimberley Bond)
Financial Times reviews the performance of Irish singer CMAT at the End of the Road festival.
A standout performance came from one of the many returning artists. Irish singer CMAT is on record a performer of witty, emotionally literate countryish pop. On stage, though, she was more like the host of an incredibly camp early-evening game show — an infectious presence who was determined to make sure everyone had fun as a room full of six-year-olds with a giant bucket of orange squash and a birthday cake: both wholly professional and delightfully amateurish at the same time. To throw in a cover of “Wuthering Heights” — note-perfect, for her voice is astonishingly versatile — was like giving those six-year-olds a PlayStation 5 at the end of the party. (Michael Hann)
Another of the highlights of the weekend is Irish country-pop powerhouse CMAT, whose athletic, funny and charismatic set includes an astonishingly well-executed cover of Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights”. “This is one of the best shows we’ve ever done,” she says towards the end. (Louis Chilton)
