A few years back, Mona Awad found herself in the grips of a skincare addiction. Hauling her laptop with her wherever she went, she watched video after video about Retinol and exfoliants, spellbound by the soothing voices and gently glowing faces of the skinfluencers on her screen. And she bought; she bought; she bought, whatever it was they were selling, whatever the price. This endless diet of Youtube tutorials and impulse buys left her “totally enchanted, but also suspicious and filled with dread,” Awad told me by phone from her home in Boston. “Which is always a good sign for…

Combining Irish music, charisma, and a ghost’s unfinished business made it feel like Fall. Many ghosts have unfinished business. It’s a well-known trope in murder mysteries, and Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major expanded on it with detailed characters and picturesque Irish charm.

Tamera Mowry-Housley was delightful as the lead character, a former orchestra conductor Gethsemane Brown. She’s easily charmed by Ireland and the tales surrounding Orla and Eamon’s deaths, but she insists that ghosts don’t…
Murder has long been a man’s game in literature. Patrick Batemen, Joe Goldberg and Tom Ripley are just a few of the complicated killers who have appeared in novels (and later on screens). Readers take a front row seat to their sadistic minds and delight in their depravity as they kill with few consequences.

It’s a refreshing change when an author can turn the tables on this narrative. My debut novel Kill for Love “neatly flips the formula…

[embedded content] Although it seems like a mundane material, the rich and varied behaviour of sand has long fascinated physicists – from the creation and motion of mighty dunes to the patterns of tiny ripples that appear on beaches. Now, researchers at Lehigh University in the US have put a new magnetic twist on the dynamics of sand. Their sand comprised polymer spheres called microrollers, which have one hemisphere coated with a magnetic material. When a magnet was rotated beneath a container holding the microrollers, they began to flow uphill. The team reckons that this bizarre behaviour is related to…
