Reviews
Watch Order: The MCU. Not exactly a review, but a guide for people who are interested in watching the 20+ movies about the superheroes that have become cultural icons.
Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Excellent read; much better than I anticipated.
The Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller. A formative installment in the Batman franchise, and overall an excellent and gripping story.
The Fifth Season, by N. K. Jemisin. Book 1 of a highly acclaimed trilogy by a remarkably thoughtful and stylistically talented writer.
