THE SEARCHING DEAD, by Ramsey Campbell (2016)
Cozy cosmic horror. Campbell is expert at creating true dread, combining a loving look at postwar British childhood with a creeping terror with echoes of John Wyndham & M.R. James. Very spooky, must find the next in this series posthaste!

The announcers (and these are the Canadian ones) are so stunned/shocked/disbelieving. One remembers how young these athletes sometimes are. But this was off-the-charts unexpected. Malinin came EIGHTH.

I keep watching this because it's so finely tuned. Margaret isn't just interrupting, she has a compulsion. She gives her answer, is briefly relieved that she scratched it, but over time the remorse and internal conflict rise. You see her internal struggle. Subtle comedy!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
