Maybe the flashpoint damage goes in both directions along the timeline.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling, but I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

It does a good job offirst introducing pretty much inherently unlikable characters, masked robbers and effectively humanizes them. It applies the same kind of “real gang if kids” vibe a lot of 80s movies gave to suburban white kids to peopleof color, in the city. It shines a light on a lot of different problems and…

It’s insane that they also didn’t realise the UK ALREADY has better terms with the EU.

I typically try to stay away from sweeping generational blame, but this morning someone in my FB feed posted a phenomenally depressing infographic that displayed the voting preferences for the Brexit broken down by age group, along with “how many years they’ll live with this decision”. Damn if it wasn’t the most…

Lois Duncan apparently loved the movie version of Killing Mr Griffin & now I'm curious to check it out. She commented on it in the Jez article linked to above - along with some other great tidbits, a fun read.

Hello, I’m Lois’s other granddaughter, Erin. I wanted to thank you, Ms. Shepherd, for the beautiful post in memoriam, and also to thank everyone who posted here for sharing your memories of Granny, as I knew her. Our family is gathering to mourn and remember, and hearing how her stories made people happy (or too…

I’m pretty sure Locked in Time is the one with the voodoo immortality potion. But demon time-travel sounds good: does anyone know if there’s actually a Duncan book about that?

Lois Duncan, y’all, when I left Nancy Drew behind, I graduated to Lois Duncan. Summer of Fear and Locked on Time were everything.
