Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …

Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus” is undoubtedly one of my top 10 favourite novels of all time.
