This spooky season, I am genuinely sick of serial killers and assorted deviants. I want to care about their victims, and not their twisted inner worlds.

Normally in this column I take a book that’s been turned into a TV show or film, and see what happens in the shift from page to screen. However, this month over at Five Books For I’ve been looking at memoirs, and you’d be correct in thinking that it’s more common for fiction to be adapted […]

Like the devastating impact of climate change, the cold civil war being fought in America heats up incrementally degree by degree.
