While we wait for the film adaptation of Dune, we dive into the pages of another book by Frank Herbert, Lefki Panoli, which has just been released in Greek by Oksy publications and reminds us of something from our lives lately.

Judge not, lest ye be judged #12 March 16, 2021 – Posted in: Books

By Spyros Andrianou When I remember reading then in the solicitations that Scott Snyder is taking over the Justice League it is true that I was concerned... Not of course because Snyder is not a very good writer. But more because he is a very good writer in his dark stories, whether it is his legendary run on Batman (Court of Owls now remains in the top ten with the definitive Batman stories) or his amazing horror masterpieces like Wytches...

Judge not, lest ye be judged #11 March 8, 2021 – Posted in: Books

By Spyros Andrianou One of the latest releases of OXY publications is also one of the best Marvel titles (along with Immortal Hulk of course) that one can read lately. Of course we're talking about Donny Cates' Venom which literally redefines the character and creates an entire micro-universe for him. The volume includes the first 6 issues of the series released in 2018. And we can safely say that it really…

FIGHT CLUB 3 February 5, 2021 – Posted in: Books

Excerpt from Irvine Welsh's introduction to Chuck Palahniuk's new work. [...] After this long (but necessary) prologue, we come to the work of one of the most important writers of our time, Chuck Polanik. His writing is primarily aimed at the first generation (and following) of Americans who are poorer than their parents. It is hard for a Western European of my age to understand that the ending of (white)… Continue reading

THE RAVEN January 29, 2021 – Posted in: Books

On this day in 1845 Edgar Allan Poe's magnum opus - The Raven - was published for the first time. A lyrical and metaphysical poem at the same time, that seduces with the slide into madness. Perhaps indicative of the author's state - physical and spiritual - it remains a point of reference to this day. Poe's life has justly earned him the characterization of a cursed poet: A cruel sequence of illness, death, addiction and misfortune, so unrelenting that… Continue reading

I hate Men January 18, 2021 – Posted in: Books

I hate Pauline Armand's Men. A feminist and iconoclastic book that defends misandry as a means to create space for solidarity among women. The book provoked the reaction of Ralph Zirmeli, an adviser to France's Ministry of Gender Equality, who tried to censor the work and prevent its circulation. Author Pauline Armanz, a 25-year-old activist, said the book is an invitation to women…

THE ESCAPE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES January 8, 2021 – Posted in: Books

Can you escape? Labyrinths that take you back to the same place. Passages that lead nowhere. Riddles that don't make sense. Twisted layouts and complex codes. And time continues to roll relentlessly against you. Every minute that passes takes you further and further away from the solution, the exit and the freedom. All of the above and more make up the dark setting of the new interactive escape book "The Escape of Sherlock Holmes - Adventure... Continue reading
