But after years of pandemic delays, the studio managed to deliver on the magical fantasy it promised (with one notable absence - you can fly a broomstick, but you can't play Quidditch!). The team previously worked on the Disney Infinity series and other Disney properties like Cars and Toy Story: projects that weren't anywhere near the scale that Avalanche claimed Hogwarts Legacy would reach. ![]() tasked the studio to develop the game back in 2018.

Back in the good ol’ days when wild, mad vampires could drift around, chowing down on teens with dyed hair and black makeup, then be on their merry way with nobody the wiser. Lost Souls was published in 1992, long before Facebook and Instagram. Brite comes up a lot as an author to check out and now I know why. No book has ever made me feel like a pale, moody goth kid before. ![]() ![]() It’s also perfect reading weather and I have a small stack of horror to savor. Poppy Z.

Barnes' depiction of these characters and their relationships (Nora says, "A man is another persona woman is yourself, caught as you turn in panic on her mouth you kiss your own") has made the novel a landmark of feminist and lesbian literature. Matthew-Mighty-Grain-of-Salt-Dante-O'Connor, a transvestite and ostensible gynecologist, whose digressive speeches brim with fury, keen insights, and surprising allusions. The outsized characters who inhabit this world are some of the most memorable in all of fiction-there is Guido Volkbein, the Wandering Jew and son of a self-proclaimed baron Robin Vote, the American expatriate who marries him and then engages in a series of affairs, first with Nora Flood and then with Jenny Petherbridge, driving all of her lovers to distraction with her passion for wandering alone in the night and there is Dr. That time is the period between the two World Wars, and Barnes' novel unfolds in the decadent shadows of Europe's great cities, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna-a world in which the boundaries of class, religion, and sexuality are bold but surprisingly porous. Nightwood, Djuna Barnes' strange and sinuous tour de force, "belongs to that small class of books that somehow reflect a time or an epoch" (Times Literary Supplement). The fiery and enigmatic masterpiece-one of the greatest novels of the Modernist era. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chase will have to learn to love-and be enough for-himself, while discovering what it means to truly live.

To help them, I've actually provided Have Blue's flight plan to the missile crew, which is like pointing my finger at a spot in the empty sky and saying, "Aim right here."

Now, it seems more concretely that the pair have rekindled an old spark-and, unlike with her ultra-private relationship with Alwyn, Swift appears to be owning this romance more openly. Their music-based kinship culminated most recently in Swift’s surprise performance at Healy’s January 2023 show in London, as well as in Healy’s visit to Nashville this past month to see Swift in concert during a leg of her Eras Tour. Whether their dynamic was more romantic or platonic, the two artists remained connected through the years, collaborating on music and openly supporting each other's work. The Midnightssinger’s relationship with 1975 frontman Matty Healy dates back to 2014, when the two met backstage at one of Healy’s concerts and subsequently spurred rumors of sharing a secret fling. But only weeks later, the singer is proving love is not dead, thanks to a speculated new man-one who has actually been there all along. Hearts broke across the world when news spread of Taylor Swift’s split from longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn. ![]() |
