The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Friday 15th July

 

Another week and another small news post. It is humid here in Northampton at the moment, never good weather for preventing my rotted limbs from deteriorating any further.
Starting with a quick glance at the JustWatch top streaming film and TV charts for the UK. I got sent this all the time but it rarely has anything that is worth mentioning. At number six in the steaming charts for films is the newest entry in the Scream series, Scream. Due to not enjoying Scre4m I haven't gotten around to watching the latest one yet, one day I shall. At number nine in the streaming charts for TV shows is season four of Stranger Things. I've currently seen the first five episodes of this and so far is shaping up to be another fantastic season.

River of Ashes is a Southern Gothic novel that was written by Alexandra Weis and Lucas Astor and has been selected as one of Apple's 'Most Anticipated Books for Summer'. The novel was apparently inspired by true events and is about a psychopath, Beau Devereaux who sets his sights on his girlfriend's twin sister. The press release states a warning that the novel contains 'rape, violence, and a psychopath's POV'.

The Golden Pith is a trilogy of 'experimental spoken word horror-fantasy fiction albums that blend surreal poetics with a crooked musical atmosphere'. This became free to download on July 7th. Included in this is Bludgeon, Sufferer's Skin and The Canopy.


That's actually all the news I have this week, it is good to be one top of the news I have been sent, though means I'm a story short for this news post. On a personal note I am currently playing through isometric cyberpunk fantasy game Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall, as well as The Dark Pictures: Little Hope. I enjoyed the previous game in that series, The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, so am hoping this one is just as good (spoiler, its not).
