The Peripheral: A Different Kind of Cyberpunk
Amazon took an enormous risk when they decided to adapt William Gibson's novel, The Peripheral. Hardcore fans of the genre are like schools of sharks, ready to attack at the first sign of blood. If the execution isn't flawless; if there's something wrong with the dialogue, the visuals--heck, even the makeup--the work will be critically panned and parodied until the end of time. The fact that the series is gaining any praise at all is a testament to its genius, and it's doing extraordinarily well. 'The Peripheral' spent weeks in the number one spot on Amazon's top 10 list, and it's still in the ranking months after the premiere. Reviews are extraordinary. Ratings have remained steady, and people are still trickling in, driven by organic traffic on social media--not advertisements and promotions. The work is holding up on its own, because it is a quality production. It delivers on every level--the visuals, the writing, the acting--and it does so with the necessary flair we've come to expect from the author.

How Mayfair Witches Finally Won Me Over... So Far
Anne Rice's profound connection with the city of New Orleans was integral to her identity. She was a longtime resident in the Garden District, where her former home can still be found--a part of any major tour. She understood the city. She was in time with it, the rhythm of the crowds, the pace of life, and she seemed to sense something terrifying resting beneath that overgrown southern facade. We hear cicadas and we think of sweet tea and rocking chairs. She'd think of drums in the jungle--something wild reverberating beneath all of that heat.Part of her life's work was to capture that spirit, weave it into words and logic, and help us understand what it would be like to contend with it. It could be a hungry beast ready to infect humanity with the scourge of vampirism, or a creepy man that simply won't leave his porch, even after he's moved on. Whatever that force embodied, it had a story--one a thousand times more interesting than we could come up with, and if we'll only follow along with it and listen to what it had to say, we might be able to see the entire struggle through.
