REVIEW // The Turn of the Screw by Henry James

★★★☆☆

I'm currently in a bit of a reading slump, so I'm sure that dampened my enjoyment of this book somewhat.

I decided to read this novel because I started watching The Haunting of Bly Manor and I was curious to see what the source material was. However, I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had read it with some sort of background on James and the novel itself. Picking it up out of the blue with absolutely zero background on the literature of the period was probably not the smartest move.

I was honestly bored for the majority of the novel and missed most of the themes and motifs that I read about once I finished it. I'm sure if I had done a bit of research first I would have appreciated it more, so I'm settling at three stars.

Happy to announce my new album as House of Black Lanterns will be released Nov 6th. You Were Telling Me Of Mountains is the title and you can read about it first and download one of it's tracks, Triumphantism, care of Clash Magazine. The journey to getting this finished and approaching being out there in some form has probably been the hardest to date. Every like and share and positive comment is hugely welcomed. http://www.clashmusic.com/news/house-of-black-lanterns-returns

If I may be bratty for a second

Heard back from the play!  I got cast, buuuuuut in a really tiny fucking role.  Granted, it’s a fun one: a really cranky, self-righteous nun.  But after the gloriously epic beast that was Olga Prozorov, it feels anticlimactic and just very eh. 

I have to look on the bright side.  Smaller role means less stress and less time and angst devoted to figuring shit out.  Smaller role means there’s far less on the page, which means I can do whatever the fuck I want, which is so much fun. 

Maybe I’m actually *more* afraid because I don’t have nearly as much stage time to form a character. 

Still, I just.  I was hoping for something meatier.  And I killed that audition.
