Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

It’s August, which means that scary season is just around the corner. I can’t help but get excited when I see Halloween decor show up at department stores. So, I couldn’t help but pick up today’s book, a gothic tale set in early Victorian England. Midnight...

This Victorian England-Set Gothic Fantasy Feels Like Part Jane Eyre, Part Fairytale

I’ve mentioned this already, but there just wasn’t enough horror rep in the NYT‘s top books of the 21st century. So as I share with you some of my personal picks for the best books of this century, you had to know more horror was going to come up. This one is another one from Paul Tremblay, who I mentioned a couple months ago. But why not read two Paul Tremblay books this summer? Especially when this one is, again, one of the BEST BOOKS of the century. Hear me out.

Horror Makes The List of This Century’s Best Books…Again!

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

I hope August has been treating you well so far! I can’t believe we only have a few weeks left of summer. On the bright side, we’re moving into what I believe is the best reading season of the year: there’s nothing cozier than curling up under a blanket with a book and a mug of tea while watching the leaves fall outside the window.

Your Favorite Queer Middle Grade Books of the Year

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Audible announced today that it is testing a new feature that will offer users AI-generated recommendations based on specific search queries. “Maven” is being rolled out in beta to about half of U.S. users, who will see a new search bar and prompt to “ask for recommendations” on the Discover tab of the Audible app in iOS and Android. Looking for a cozy mystery to listen to while you bake, a queer romantasy that’s at least 14 hours long for your upcoming roadtrip, or a thriller without any violence against women? Maven, which is currently limited to a subset of the Audible library, should theoretically be able to help. Quality is still highly variable with AI search tools, but if this is good, it could be great.

It's 1926 and reapers, the once-human vampires with a terrifying affliction, are on the rise in Harlem. Elise is the reluctant heir to a reaper-hunting empire. Layla is a reaper who lost everything — her parents, friends, and humanity — and she'll never forget how Elise betrayed her. When a new kind of reaper that's more human than monster emerges, Elise and Layla must join forces to uncover the city's darkest secrets. As they explore New York City’s underworld, it gets harder to ignore their intense feelings for one another, even when they know they can never be together.
