If you don’t enjoy the cheese you should avoid Steinman. For those of us with lower tastes, it doesn’t get any better! Now excuse me while I go cue up Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Another author I could pick any number of works from, but I found this to be one of his more accessible books.

If you made a horror movie, what extremely upbeat pop song would you want slowed down and creepified to play in the trailer?

This is probably banned in the US today. Get a copy before it’s illegal! Find out why the powers that be are afraid of Zinn. I can’t believe I used to teach this book in AP US History.
