The past decade has seen Copenhagen make a real mark on the world's gastronomic map and it has become one of Europe's most exciting foodie destinations. Throughout the city a new cuisine has emerged: eclectic and experimental, yet respectful of Danish culinary tradition. And it's a measure of its success that the latest Michelin Red Guide awarded no fewer than 12 stars to Copenhagen restaurants - more than it lavished upon Rome, Madrid, Berlin, Milan or Vienna. British chef Paul Cunningham is something of a star himself in his adopted home of Copenhagen. It was an affair of the heart, rather than anything culinary that first took him to Denmark more than 10 years ago - he fell in love with a...
Blue Light of the Screen is about what it means to be afraid Ñ about immersion, superstition, delusion, and the things that keep us up at night. A creative-critical memoir of the authorÕs obsession with the horror genre, Blue Light of the Screen embeds its criticism of horror within a larger personal story of growing up in a devoutly Catholic family, overcoming suicidal depression, uncovering intergenerational trauma, and encountering real and imagined ghosts. As Cronin writes, she positions herself as a protagonist who is haunted by what she watches and reads, like an antiquarian in an M.R. James ghost story whose sense of reality unravels through her study of arcane texts and cursed archives. In this way, Blue Light of the Screen tells the story of the authorÕs conversion from skepticism to faith in the supernatural. Part memoir, part ghost story, and part critical theory, Blue Light of the Screen is not just a book about horror, but a work of horror itself.

Cursed Bunny is a genre-defying collection of short stories by Korean author Bora Chung. Blurring the lines between magical realism, horror, and science-fiction, Chung uses elements of the fantastic and surreal to address the very real horrors and cruelties of patriarchy and capitalism in modern society. Anton Hur’s translation skilfully captures the way Chung’s prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous. Winner of a PEN/Heim Grant.
Bobbing alongside Margery Kempe—an illiterate medieval mystic who dictated the first autobiography in English—the ragged voice of Cry Baby Mystic finds itself drawn into strange predicaments that are not its own and ferried into abandoned spaces by the gearing of stardom and shame. The revolving sentences overheard by the reader--a muffled chorus of Brechtian aftershocks--survive only as traces of sorrow now craved by all who have known it: sound gossiping the unsound, the excess of the pilgrim. A person climbs out and never comes home.
