Step brother adores you pt. 4

Eddie Munson x Plus size!FM!Reader

Warnings: oral, p in v, fingering, petnames (daddy, slut, whore)

Summary: After the concert and your shennanigans in the van, he drove you home. You had a breakfast together, and Haley really had a lot to say about Eddie disappearing on you the first night he was told to watch over you. He promised it wouldn't happen again, and he sure kept his promise. He was there every time your dad and Haley went out on a date, and you always had mind blowing sex. For weeks you kept it hidden, until that one family dinner, where your dad and Haley announced something big. Would your relationship stand, or would it crumble below your feet?

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5 (coming soon)

"You really gonna do it?" Eddie says, as his foot touches yours beneath the table.

You both look at your parents with shock, and you can't even believe what you just heard.

You brushed your hand on top of his thigh, squeezing lightly as he glanced at you quick, before his eyes went to his mom again. His hand going over yours under the table, squeezing lightly.

"Yeah, we've talked a bit about it, and we wanted to hear with you guys too, I mean" Haley said as she looked at your dad with sparkle in her eyes.

Fuck, this was not good. Or was it? You couldn't really tell by the shock you had right now.

"Me and your dad have been dating for half a year now, and we wanna make something more of it" she said, taking her attention entirely over to you as you looked at them both with shock.

You deep down knew this was gonna happen sooner or later, but you hoped it would be later rather than sooner. You loved the relationship you have gotten with Eddie over the past few months, and so did he.

"I have seen that you guys are really close too, and that makes us both so happy, because we really want this to work" Haley says, and you can't do anything but to nod.

"I wanna sell our house, so we can move in here, Eds" she says, and Eddie's jaw drops to the floor. You squeeze his thigh for reassurance, and he huffs.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't be that bad" he says as he squeezes your hand back, smiling slightly before he redirects his attention back to his mom.

"They got enough bedrooms, so you'll have your own, and I'll just be with Jeff in his room" she says as she smiles at your dad.

Ugh, that was strange. You haven't heard anyone say his name in so long, you were used with them saying Mr. Y/L/N, or just your dad, or dad in general. You never called him by his own name.

The way your dad's eyes sparkled when she spoke, made everything clear. This was happening, and you couldn't do anything to stop it.

"Can we be excused? I want to talk to Y/N alone, finding out if we can be siblings" Eddie said suddenly, which made you look at him with confusion clear in your eyes.

You deep down knew he meant something else despite what he said to your parents. He wanted to figure out how you guys would go about your relationship whenever they moved in with you and your dad.

"Of course, sweetie, take all the time you need, both of you" she reassured, and Eddie smirked. Oh boy, he had something on his mind for sure.

"Is it okay if I take her with me for the weekend? My band is gonna play out of town, and I would love for Y/N to join me" he smiled, and his mom aw'ed at his antics.

Oh, if she only knew what was going on in that head of his, she would not have aw'ed right now.

"Of course! Right Jeff? They deserve to bond, right?" Haley insisted, and your dad just hummed, but nodded approvingly.

"If Y/N want too, she can, but don't you have work in the morning, Y/N?" your dad asked, and you shook your head.

"Next weekend is my work weekend, this time I have the weekend off" you reassured him, and he nodded.

"Be safe, kids!" Haley yelled after you when Eddie dragged you up to your room for you to pack some clothes as he sat on your bed, looking at you.

"You look so sexy in those shorts, could you take them with you?" he asked, holding up some shorts you used to bed sometimes.

You chuckled, and smiled at him.

"What do you have planned for us, big boy?" you cooed, walking closer to him, standing between his legs as his hands landed on the back of your thighs as you leaned down to kiss him.

"I know your band doesn't play until next month, so I know you got something in that mind of yours"

"I wanna take a weekend away with my girl, and maybe fuck her brains out and eat... I mean, treat her right" he smirked, and you giggled.

"Stupid" you said, swatting his chest playfully. "But you love me!" he smiled his goofiest smile at you, before he slapped your ass.

"Get ready so we can leave!" he huffed, and you shook your head laughing at him, getting the stuff you needed for the weekend.

Meanwhile in the kitchen:

"Aren't they just the sweetest?" Haley said in the kitchen as she helped your dad clean up after dinner.

"Yeah, really sweet" your dad mumbled back at her.

"Oh, don't be such a sourpuss!" she teased your dad, smirking at him.

"While they're away, we can have fun here all by ourself, big boy" she hummed, her hands landing on his chest, squeezing lightly as he smirked back at her, groping her ass before he kissed her hungrily.

~~~

Eddie had booked a really nice hotel a few miles away from Hawkins, and it was beautiful. You wondered how he could afford such a nice hotel, but you didn't care to ask as he opened the door to your room for you, and you ran and leapt into the bed. It was bouncy, and you giggled as Eddie closed the door behind him and followed suit.

He leaped into the bed beside you, the bounce from him made such force you almost got jumped out of the bed, and Eddie catched you before you rolled out, tugging you flush against him, laughing.

You laid there in his arms in a happy bliss of laughter before it died down a bit, as you cuddled close to him as he kissed the top of your head, stroking small circles on your lower back with his thumb as you laid there in his embrace.

"I love you" you said, breaking the silence as he stopped breathing for a sec hearing those words fall off your lips.

He looked down at you, cupping your chin, making you look up at him before he smiled.

"I love you" he said, kissing you tenderly.

His lips were so soft, and you were addicted. The feeling of them kissing you back was intoxicating, and you'd do anything to make those moments last forever.

"You wanna go down to the restaurant, or should we order in?" he asked, pulling away from the kiss.

You look at him and grin.

"Order in!" you say excitedly, and he laughs, kissing you once more.

"Go find the menu, find something you want, and I'll order" he says as you jump out of the bed, almost running towards the desk where the menu were, jumping into bed with him again as he opened his arm for you to snuggle close.

As you checked what they had, he just held you, pampering you in kisses.

"After dinner, I want my desert" he stated, as he cupped your pussy, and you could see his eyes change from love, to lust.

Your mouth agape as he started kissing down your neck, and you moaned as he started sucking your neck, marking you.

"Eds" you moaned as your nails dug into his delicate skin on his back. He whinces a bit from the pain, but chuckled as you leaned your head to the side to give him better access.

He would mark your neck up if he continued this, but you didn't care. You loved having his lips on you.

"Y/N, you feel so good" he says as his hands roam your body hungrily. Cupping a tit as he sucks another mark into your neck.

"Eds, food" you try to tell him, but it comes more out as a moan.

"Yes, you're my dinner" he states, as he starts to hover over you, kissing down your neck, releasing your tits from your bra as he groans from the sensation of seeing them flop free.

You wiggle under his touch as your stomach grumbles, and Eddie is sent out of his trance, hearing your stomach.

"Shit, sorry princess, I got a bit to carried away" he says as he bit his lip. You smile at him, cupping his cheek.

"I'd love to get down and dirty with you, but I need food first baby" you reassure him, and he nods eagerly.

"Ofcourse my princess! My princess will never go hungry on my watch!" he says a bit dramatic, holding onto his chest as if he's holding a sword and a shield in the other.

You laughed at his actions, and he picked up the phone to dial down to the reception.

"What do my princess want?" he smiled at you, and you listed a few things, and he didn't even hesitate to order them, as he ordered himself a bacon-cheese burger with fries.

You went into the bathroom to shower before the food came, and when you got out of the bathroom, Eddie had stripped down to nothing, laying on the bed with a few plates laying around him, his hand motioning to the food as you laughed at him.

"What are you even doing?" you laughed, walking closer to him.

"Well, this is dinner" he motioned for the food in front of him. "And this" he motioned to his glistening dick. "Is dessert if you eat good enough amount of food" he smirked, and you laughed even more.

"Babe" you started, but couldn't finish as he smiled dorky at you.

"What" he asked, dumbfounded, smiling at you. You shook your head at his antics, and sat down beside him in bed, leaning down to kiss his lips before you pulled away and looked at him, adoration in your eyes.

"I wanna keep you forever"

He smiles, and shakes his head chuckling.

"Well, by the look of our parents, it seems like I'm not leaving any time soon, not that I ever wanted to either"

Shit. You totally forgot about that for a quick second.

"Fuck, I completely forgot about that for a hot second" your face a painful grimace as he drags you down into his arms.

"Hey, it's gonna be fine, we just have to be a bit more sneaky, and whenever one of us can save up for our own place, we don't have to be just as sneaky" he stated. You guess he had a point.

"Look at me" he said, trying to pull your chin up so you had to look at him.

"It's gonna be okay" he smiles. "Do you trust me?"

You nod.

"I need your words princess"

"I do trust you" you spoke, and he smiled, leaning up to peck your lips.

"I got you" he stated, matter of factly before he sat up, handing you one plate with some food on it.

"Now eat, and forget for a while, I'll make you forget even better after" he winked, and you swatted at his arm playfully, shaking your head, trying to not focus on how your pussy was clenching around nothing by his statement.

His eyes never leaving yours, as his smirk grew, knowing exactly what was happening between your legs.

"Ooor" he dragged out the word, laying down between your legs, spreading them apart, as he smiled seeing the wet spot that grew by the second on your panties.

"I could eat you out while you eat yourself" he said, pushing your panties to the side, not giving you any opportunity to protest against him as he shoved his face into your pussy, lapping up the juices that had formed, as he licked a stripe from the start of your entrance up to your clit, before his mouth latched onto your clit, sucking hungrily as you gasped, your hands pulling at his hair as he shoved a finger inside you, slowly, arching it just right to hit that sweet spot as you moaned loudly.

He hummed against you as he pumped his finger a few times in and out of you as you clenched your legs together from pleasure, but his other hand pushed them apart again.

"Fuck, Eddie" you moaned, you could feel him smirk against your pussy as he entered another finger, stretching you out as he pumped them in and out of you sweetly, torturing you almost. The sound of your wet pussy against his fingers made your head fall back in pleasure, as he curled his fingers inside of you, hitting that sweet spot as his tongue circled around your clit.

Your hips started to buck against his face, and he hummed.

"Yes baby, cum for daddy" he spoke softly, and it wasn't long after you came undone around his fingers, his mouth latching up your juices as you came.

He let you ride out your high, your hips bucking against his face, riding his face as your orgasm came to an end.

He crawled up against you, hovering over you as he smiled down at you, licking his fingers clean.

"I love the taste of you" he said, grinning at you, before you leaned up, pulling his face down towards you, your lips crashing against eachother as you ate his lips hungrily, tasting yourself off of him before pulling away, smirking at him, licking your lips.

"And I love the taste of me off your lips even more"

The weekend went by so fast, you barely felt like you had time to even enjoy your time with Eddie at all. The way everything seemed to go by in a haste, making sure you didn't get time at all to enjoy eachother was painful, but you knew it would be something like that in general.

You were packing your bag you had brought with you as you stood there, thinking about how hot the sex was yesterday. How he made you see stars as you came for him the 6th time that night. How he made you feel like the only girl in the world who could make him happy. How he felt stretching you out, softly, hard, and passionate. He was everything to you, and you could feel yourself falling for him more and more. This was not good. This would mean trouble. You could smell it already. See how the troubles evolved over time, how much pain it would cause you and him.

If you could, or had even the willpower to do it, you would kiss him goodbye, tell him this meant everything to you. Everything he did to you during the weekend. How he treated you was everything you had ever wished for, but it had to come to an end. If you knew you would never see him again, you would definitely do that. Just turn away and walk. But you couldn't. You knew that. He knew that. And it was dangerous.

You squealed slightly when he walked up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling the hair covering your neck over to the other side so he could place soft kisses to your skin.

"Hey beautiful" he hummed against your skin, causing goosebumps to form as he spoke, and a pool in your panties starting to form too. Fuck.

"Eds, please" you tried to push out, but even you could barely hear what you said.

Your arms went on autopilot when you interlaced your fingers with his, your head falling to the side slightly to give him better access to your skin as you hummed with satisfaction of feeling him touching you. You loved everything he did to you or with you. He has become your rock in life without even realising it.

You had really digged your own grave with this relationship, but what could you do when you could never get enough of him? Get enough of the time you had together? And soon you would be sharing a house? Soon you would be step siblings? Fuck.

"Eds" you tried to push yourself away from him, but he didn't let go at all, just pushed you closer to him as he kissed your neck, humming against your skin.

"Eds" you tried again, a bit more stern this time, and he stopped dead in his tracks.

"What, princess?" he spoke, his voice cracking as he did, probably scared because you never used that tone with him at all.

"What are we gonna do about the situation with our parents?"

You really wanted to know if he was just as scared about it as you were.

You turned around his arms, looking up at him as he smiled down at you.

"I promise" he started, cupping your cheek as he placed a soft kiss to your lips before he pulled away again.

"I promise we will figure it out, if not, I'm gonna tell my mom about us, and ask her for advice, because I know for a fact that she will try her best to help us if we need it" he said, seeming really sure about the entire thing, so it made you relax.

You smiled at him, leaning into his touch as you reached up to place your hand on top of his, kissing his wrist as you chuckled.

"This is gonna be a turbulent journey"

"Yeah, but we'll be by eachother's side the entire time" he reassured you, kissing your lips one last time before he smiled at you.

"Ready?"

You let out a deep breath as you looked at him, nodding slowly.

"Ready as can be, I guess"

FRIDAY FLASHBACK “Over Under Sideways Down” 55 years ago today there was an earth-shaking 45rpm shout-out, a greeting in 786 languages: "Hey!" It had the power to soldier dry bones and shatter despair in the rats alley of the poet’s heart. "Hey!" is battle cry, alarm, seduction, and party yell, heard in sports arenas, bazaars, bedrooms, street corners, and houses of worship. It’s the "Hey!" in “Over Under Sideways Down” by The Yardbirds.

"(Hey) Over under sideways down,

"(Hey) Backwards forwards square and round.

"When will it end? When will it end?"

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."—Solomon, Book of Ecclesiastes.

The American version of the 60s was about busting away from The Establishment, inflamed by assassinations and racism. Conversely, the English version sought after a New Establishment, run by resilient entrepreneurs, able to absorb and transform culture into a thrilling invention of celebrity, crime, cuisine, fashion, film, fine art, media, satire, scandal, sexuality, and spirituality. "’Over Under Sideways Down’ was very much about the mood of the day," said Yardbirds co-founder/drummer Jim McCarty. The first verse is Keith Relf’s mudwrestling in self-judgement amidst the clamor of “Swinging London”:

"Hey! Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age,

"Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking, till I've spent my wage.

"When I was young, people spoke of immorality,

"All the things they said were wrong are what I want to be"

In his day, Relf voiced some fearlessly profound lyrics, touching on prejudice ((“Mister You’re a Better Man Than I”), the sin nature of man (“Ever Since the World Began”), and the search for wisdom (“Shapes of Things”). Relf was photogenic but attempts to market him as a teen idol didn’t fly. Instead, a mystique grew around him, perhaps caused by his scarcity of face time in the pages of 16 and Teen Beat.

"I find comments 'bout my looks irrelativity,

"Think I'll go and have some fun, ‘cos it's all for free. I’m not searching for a reason to enjoy myself

Seems it’s better than to argue with somebody else”

Guitar-titans Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page had career-launches in The Yardbirds. The band came with Relf and the sturdy rhythm section of drummer McCarty, bassist/guitarist Chris Dreja and bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith, and band members later laid hands on the careers of Cream, Led Zeppelin, Manfred Mann, Renaissance, Cat Stevens, and others.

“Over Under Sideways Down” came about after the band was in a van on a drive after a gig. The radio was set to a 1950s rock’n’roll program. Bill Haley & the Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” came on, with the walking bass line that informed “OUSD.” McCarty said they all cried, "Wow, if we could only write a song that good." The song has become a theme for art exhibits, and a median in a 2005 college course on philosophy. One student wrote, "Culture, or the arts, often beats out science to a ‘qualitative’ explanation over a strictly formalized explanation (though it may be said that artists themselves haven't a clue as to what the meaning is)."

At 2:21 in the original recording, the "Heys!" get longer, like a Valhallan prayer reverberating long past the fade out, or like an echo of King David’s 39th Psalm. Like Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, Relf died "too young," but beyond their mortal coils, musicians of this caliber keep transmitting the art of what is possible.

"I thought Beck's signature riff on ‘OUSD was an electric violin! I had never heard an electric sound like that," said guitarist/singer-songwriter Michael Roe of the seminal California band, The 77s. Their muscular remake heightens the metaphysical rustle of the song:

I've been waiting to see these guys for years so was super excited when I saw the announcement of a rare European tour. This was followed by disappointment when they weren't playing my home town again 😪. I didn't really fancy a long trek there & back in one night to one of the few UK dates & was scared that if I didn't get to see them now they'd drop all their songs from the 1st couple of albums. I scanned the rest of the European dates and Prague seemed to fit plus was pretty cheap to get to. So here I am, it's been a long time coming but I finally get to see Wild Nothing Great set with a decent amount of old tunes "yay they played Summer Holiday!" 🙆‍♀️ but really I could have watched them allnight wishing they would play this one or that one...... I've probably overdone the vids on this but found it difficult to choose which ones to pick. In the end weeded it out to 4 tracks. Next time I hopefully won't have to travel so far & Bristol will be considered a place to visit on their next UK tour. Things haven't turned out so bad, Prague is a pretty beautiful city & I've had a few days to explore. Wild Nothing - Rock Cafe- Prague 12th March 2019

Ok so, I was marching band initiation the other night and the senior drum major people were introducing themselves. Idk remember how, but they ended up having a serious debate about whether mint chocolate chip was superior to cookie dough. So they were all introducing themselves along with which ice cream flavor they liked best right?

For example: (actual dialogue overheard)

"Hi I'm Jeff and I like mint chocolate chip because I'm not a loser"

"Hi there, my name's Haley and I like cookie dough because it's better than everything, including you Jeff"

So we get to the last person (after the surprising plot twist that the teacher likes plain vanilla) and he stands up. Takes a deep breath. And goes...

"Hi I'm Mark and I don't have a favorite ice cream flavor because I'm lactose intolerant and also you're all wrong, the only ice cream I risk eating is rocky road"

Idk why this was so funny to me but yeah, felt like sharing

Description

Why study infinite series? Not all mathematical problems can be solved exactly or have a solution that can be expressed in terms of a known function. In such cases, it is common practice to use an infinite series expansion to approximate or represent a solution. This informal introduction for undergraduate students explores the numerous uses of infinite series and sequences in engineering and the physical sciences. The material has been carefully selected to help the reader develop the techniques needed to confidently utilize infinite series. The book begins with infinite series and sequences before moving onto power series, complex infinite series and finally onto Fourier, Legendre, and Fourier-Bessel series. With a focus on practical applications, the book demonstrates that infinite series are more than an academic exercise and helps students to conceptualize the theory with real world examples and to build their skill set in this area.

Let's be real: 2020 has been a nightmare. Between the political unrest and novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it's difficult to look back on the year and find something, anything, that was a potential bright spot in an otherwise turbulent trip around the sun. Luckily, there were a few bright spots: namely, some of the excellent works of military history and analysis, fiction and non-fiction, novels and graphic novels that we've absorbed over the last year.

Here's a brief list of some of the best books we read here at Task & Purpose in the last year. Have a recommendation of your own? Send an email to [email protected] and we'll include it in a future story.

Missionaries by Phil Klay

I loved Phil Klay’s first book, Redeployment (which won the National Book Award), so Missionaries was high on my list of must-reads when it came out in October. It took Klay six years to research and write the book, which follows four characters in Colombia who come together in the shadow of our post-9/11 wars. As Klay’s prophetic novel shows, the machinery of technology, drones, and targeted killings that was built on the Middle East battlefield will continue to grow in far-flung lands that rarely garner headlines. [Buy]

- Paul Szoldra, editor-in-chief

Battle Born: Lapis Lazuli by Max Uriarte

Written by 'Terminal Lance' creator Maximilian Uriarte, this full-length graphic novel follows a Marine infantry squad on a bloody odyssey through the mountain reaches of northern Afghanistan. The full-color comic is basically 'Conan the Barbarian' in MARPAT. [Buy]

- James Clark, senior reporter

The Liberator by Alex Kershaw

Now a gritty and grim animated World War II miniseries from Netflix, The Liberator follows the 157th Infantry Battalion of the 45th Division from the beaches of Sicily to the mountains of Italy and the Battle of Anzio, then on to France and later still to Bavaria for some of the bloodiest urban battles of the conflict before culminating in the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. It's a harrowing tale, but one worth reading before enjoying the acclaimed Netflix series. [Buy]

- Jared Keller, deputy editor

The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 by Garrett Graff

If you haven’t gotten this must-read account of the September 11th attacks, you need to put The Only Plane In the Sky at the top of your Christmas list. Graff expertly explains the timeline of that day through the re-telling of those who lived it, including the loved ones of those who were lost, the persistently brave first responders who were on the ground in New York, and the service members working in the Pentagon. My only suggestion is to not read it in public — if you’re anything like me, you’ll be consistently left in tears. [Buy]

- Haley Britzky, Army reporter

The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World by Elaine Scarry

Why do we even fight wars? Wouldn’t a massive tennis tournament be a nicer way for nations to settle their differences? This is one of the many questions Harvard professor Elaine Scarry attempts to answer, along with why nuclear war is akin to torture, why the language surrounding war is sterilized in public discourse, and why both war and torture unmake human worlds by destroying access to language. It’s a big lift of a read, but even if you just read chapter two (like I did), you’ll come away thinking about war in new and refreshing ways. [Buy]

- David Roza, Air Force reporter

Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943 by Antony Beevor

Stalingrad takes readers all the way from the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union to the collapse of the 6th Army at Stalingrad in February 1943. It gives you the perspective of German and Soviet soldiers during the most apocalyptic battle of the 20th century. [Buy]

- Jeff Schogol, Pentagon correspondent

America's War for the Greater Middle East by Andrew J. Bacevich

I picked up America's War for the Greater Middle East earlier this year and couldn’t put it down. Published in 2016 by Andrew Bacevich, a historian and retired Army officer who served in Vietnam, the book unravels the long and winding history of how America got so entangled in the Middle East and shows that we’ve been fighting one long war since the 1980s — with errors in judgment from political leaders on both sides of the aisle to blame. “From the end of World War II until 1980, virtually no American soldiers were killed in action while serving in the Greater Middle East. Since 1990, virtually no American soldiers have been killed in action anywhere else. What caused this shift?” the book jacket asks. As Bacevich details in this definitive history, the mission creep of our Vietnam experience has been played out again and again over the past 30 years, with disastrous results. [Buy]

- Paul Szoldra, editor-in-chief

Burn In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution by P.W. Singer and August Cole

In Burn In, Singer and Cole take readers on a journey at an unknown date in the future, in which an FBI agent searches for a high-tech terrorist in Washington, D.C. Set after what the authors called the "real robotic revolution," Agent Lara Keegan is teamed up with a robot that is less Terminator and far more of a useful, and highly intelligent, law enforcement tool. Perhaps the most interesting part: Just about everything that happens in the story can be traced back to technologies that are being researched today. You can read Task & Purpose's interview with the authors here. [Buy]

- James Clark, senior reporter

SAS: Rogue Heroes by Ben MacIntyre

Like WWII? Like a band of eccentric daredevils wreaking havoc on fascists? Then you'll love SAS: Rogue Heroes, which re-tells some truly insane heists performed by one of the first modern special forces units. Best of all, Ben MacIntyre grounds his history in a compassionate, balanced tone that displays both the best and worst of the SAS men, who are, like anyone else, only human after all. [Buy]

- David Roza, Air Force reporter

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

The Alice Network is a gripping novel which follows two courageous women through different time periods — one living in the aftermath of World War II, determined to find out what has happened to someone she loves, and the other working in a secret network of spies behind enemy lines during World War I. This gripping historical fiction is based on the true story of a network that infiltrated German lines in France during The Great War and weaves a tale so packed full of drama, suspense, and tragedy that you won’t be able to put it down. [Buy]

Katherine Rondina, Anchor Books

“Because I published a new book this year, I've been answering questions about my inspirations. This means I've been thinking about and so thankful for The Girl in the Flammable Skirt by Aimee Bender. I can't credit it with making me want to be a writer — that desire was already there — but it inspired me to write stories where the fantastical complicates the ordinary, and the impossible becomes possible. A girl in a nice dress with no one to appreciate it. An unremarkable boy with a remarkable knack for finding things. The stories in this book taught me that the everydayness of my world could become magical and strange, and in that strangeness I could find a new kind of truth.”

Diane Cook is the author of the novel The New Wilderness, which was long-listed for the 2020 Booker Prize, and the story collection Man V. Nature, which was a finalist for the Guardian First Book Award, the Believer Book Award, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and the Los Angeles Times Award for First Fiction. Read an excerpt from The New Wilderness.

Bill Johnston, University of California Press

“I’ve revisited a lot of old favorites in this grim year of fear and isolation, and have been most thankful of all for The Collected Poems of Frank O’Hara. Witty, reflexive, intimate, queer, disarmingly occasional and monumentally serious all at once, they’ve been a constant balm and inspiration. ‘The only thing to do is simply continue,’ he wrote, in 'Adieu to Norman, Bon Jour to Joan and Jean-Paul'; ‘is that simple/yes, it is simple because it is the only thing to do/can you do it/yes, you can because it is the only thing to do.’”

Helen Macdonald is a nature essayist with a semiregular column in the New York Times Magazine. Her latest novel, Vesper Flights, is a collection of her best-loved essays, and her debut book, H Is for Hawk, won the Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction and the Costa Book Award, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction.

“This year, I’m so grateful for You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson. Reading — like everything else — has been a struggle for me in 2020. It’s been tough to let go of all of my anxieties about the state of the world and our country and get swept away by a story. But You Should See Me in a Crown pulled me in right away; for the blissful time that I was reading it, it made me think about a world outside of 2020 and it made me smile from ear to ear. Joy has been hard to come by this year, and I’m so thankful for this book for the joy it brought me.”

Jasmine Guillory is the New York Times bestselling author of five romance novels, including this year’s Party of Two. Her work has appeared in O, The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, and Time.

Nelson Fitch, Random House

“Last year, stuck in a prolonged reading rut that left me wondering if I even liked books anymore, I stumbled across Tenth of December by George Saunders, a collection of stories Saunders wrote between 1995 and 2012 that are at turns funny, moving, startling, weird, profound, and often all of those things at the same time. As a writer, what I crave most from books is to find one so excellent it makes me feel like I'd be better off quitting — and so wonderful that it reminds me what it is to be purely a reader again, encountering new worlds and revelations every time I turn a page. Tenth of December is that, and I'm so grateful that it fell off a high shelf and into my life.”

Veronica Roth is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series and the Carve the Mark duology. Her latest novel, Chosen Ones, is her first novel for adults. Read an excerpt from Chosen Ones.

Ian Byers-Gamber, Blazevox Books

“Waking up today to the prospect of some hours spent reading away part of another day of this disastrous, delirious pandemic year, I’m most grateful for the book in my hands, one itself full of gratitude for a life spent reading: Gloria Frym’s How Proust Ruined My Life. Frym’s essays — on Marcel Proust, yes, and Walt Whitman, and Lucia Berlin, but also peppermint-stick candy and Allen Ginsburg’s knees, among other Proustian memory-prompts — restore me to my sense of my eerie luck at a life spent rushing to the next book, the next page, the next word.”

Jonathan Lethem is the author of a number of critically acclaimed novels, including The Fortress of Solitude and the National Book Critics Circle Award winner Motherless Brooklyn. His latest novel, The Arrest, is a postapocalyptic tale about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car.

David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Riverhead

“I’m incredibly grateful for the magnificent The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee by David Treuer. This book — a mélange of history, memoir, and reportage — is the reconceptualization of Native life that’s been urgently needed since the last great indigenous history, Dee Brown’s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. It’s at once a counternarrative and a replacement for Brown’s book, and it rejects the standard tale of Native victimization, conquest, and defeat. Even though I teach Native American studies to college students, I found new insights and revelations in almost every chapter. Not only a great read, the book is a tremendous contribution to Native American — and American — intellectual and cultural history.”

David Heska Wanbli Weiden, an enrolled member of the Sicangu Lakota Nation, is author of the novel Winter Counts, which is BuzzFeed Book Club’s November pick. He is also the author of the children’s book Spotted Tail, which won the 2020 Spur Award from the Western Writers of America. Read an excerpt from Winter Counts.

Valerie Mosley, Tordotcom

“In 2020, I've been lucky to finish a single book within 30 days, but I burned through this 507-page brick in the span of a weekend. Harrow the Ninth reminded me that even when absolutely everything is terrible, it's still possible to feel deep, gratifying, brain-buzzing admiration for brilliant art. Thank you, Harrow, for being one of the brightest spots in a dark year and for keeping the home fires burning.”

Casey McQuiston is the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue, and her next book, One Last Stop, comes out in 2021.

"I'm grateful for V.S. Naipaul's troubling masterpiece, A Bend in the River — which not only made me see the world anew, but made me see what literature could do. It's a book that's lucid enough to reveal the brutality of the forces shaping our world and its politics; yet soulful enough to penetrate the most recondite secrets of human interiority. A book of great beauty without a moment of mercy. A marriage of opposites that continues to shape my own deeper sense of just how much a writer can actually accomplish."

Ayad Akhtar is a novelist and playwright, and his latest novel, Homeland Elegies, is about an American son and his immigrant father searching for belonging in a post-9/11 country. He is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Vanessa German, Feminist Press

“I'm most thankful for Daddy Was a Number Runner by Louise Meriwether. It's a YA book set in 1930s Harlem, and it was the first Black-girl-coming-of-age book I ever read, the first time I ever saw myself in a book. I appreciate how it expanded my world and my understanding that books can speak to you right where you are and take you on a journey, at the same time.”

Deesha Philyaw’s debut short story collection, The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction. She is also the co-author of Co-Parenting 101: Helping Your Kids Thrive in Two Households After Divorce, written in collaboration with her ex-husband. Philyaw’s writing on race, parenting, gender, and culture has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, McSweeney’s, the Rumpus, and elsewhere. Read a story from The Secret Lives of Church Ladies.

Philippa Gedge, W. W. Norton & Company

“As both a writer and a reader I am hugely grateful for Patricia Highsmith’s plotting and writing suspense fiction. As a writer I’m thankful for Highsmith’s generosity with her wisdom and experience: She talks us through how to tease out the narrative strands and develop character, how to know when things are going awry, even how to decide to give things up as a bad job. She’s unabashed about sharing her own ‘failures,’ and in my experience, there’s nothing more encouraging for a writer than learning that our literary gods are mortal! As a reader, it provides a fascinating insight into the genesis of one of my favorite novels of all time — The Talented Mr. Ripley, as well as the rest of her brilliant oeuvre. And because it’s Highsmith, it’s so much more than just a how-to guide: It’s hugely engaging and, while accessible, also provides a glimpse into the mind of a genius. I’ve read it twice — while working on each of my thrillers, The Hunting Party and The Guest List — and I know I’ll be returning to the well-thumbed copy on my shelf again soon!”

Lucy Foley is the New York Times bestselling author of the thrillers The Guest List and The Hunting Party. She has also written two historical fiction novels and previously worked in the publishing industry as a fiction editor.

“The books I'm most thankful for this year are a three-book series titled Tales from the Gas Station by Jack Townsend. Walking a fine line between comedy and horror (which is much harder than people think), the books follow Jack, an employee at a gas station in a nameless town where all manner of horrifyingly fantastical things happen. And while the monsters are scary and more than a little ridiculous, it's Jack's bone-dry narration, along with his best friend/emotional support human, Jerry, that elevates the books into something that are as lovely as they are absurd.”

T.J. Klune is a Lambda Literary Award–winning author and an ex-claims examiner for an insurance company. His novels include The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Extraordinaries.

Sylvernus Darku (Team Black Image Studio), Ayebia Clarke Publishing

"Nervous Conditions is a book that I have read several times over the years, including this year. The novel covers the themes of gender and race and has at its heart Tambu, a young girl in 1960s Rhodesia determined to get an education and to create a better life for herself. Dangarembga’s prose is evocative and witty, and the story is thought-provoking. I’ve been inspired anew by Tambu each time I’ve read this book."

Peace Adzo Medie is Senior Lecturer in Gender and International Politics at the University of Bristol. She is the author of Global Norms and Local Action: The Campaigns to End Violence against Women in Africa (Oxford University Press, 2020). His Only Wife is her debut novel.

Jenna Maurice, HarperCollins

“The book I'm most thankful for? Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. My mother and father would read me poems from it before bed — I'm convinced it infused me not only with a sense of poetic cadence, but also a wry sense of humor.”

Victoria “V.E.” Schwab is the bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including Vicious, the Shades of Magic series, and This Savage Song. Her latest novel, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, is BuzzFeed Book Club’s December pick. Read an excerpt from The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

Meg Vázquez, Square Fish

“My childhood best friend gave me Troubling a Star by Madeleine L'Engle for Hanukkah when I was 11 years old, and it's still my favorite book of all time. I love the way it defies genre (it's a political thriller/YA romance that includes a lot of scientific research and also poetry??), and the way it values smartness, gutsiness, vulnerability, kindness, and a sense of adventure. The book follows 16-year-old Vicky Austin's life-altering trip to Antarctica; her trip changed my life, too. In a year when safe travel is almost impossible, I'm so grateful to be able to return to her story again and again.”

Kate Stayman-London's debut novel, One to Watch, is about a plus-size blogger who’s been asked to star on a Bachelorette-like reality show. Stayman-London served as lead digital writer for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and has written for notable figures, from former president Obama and Malala Yousafzai to Anna Wintour and Cher.

Katharine McGee is grateful for the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Chris Bailey Photography, Firebird

“I’m thankful for the Redwall books by Brian Jacques. I discovered the series in elementary school, and it sparked a love of big, epic stories that has never left me. (If you read my books, you know I can’t resist a broad cast of characters!) I used to read the books aloud to my younger sister, using funny voices for all the narrators. Now that I have a little boy of my own, I can’t wait to someday share Redwall with him.”

Katharine McGee is the New York Times bestselling author of American Royals and its sequel, Majesty. She is also the author of the Thousandth Floor trilogy.

Beth Gwinn, Time-Life Books

"I am thankful most for books that carry me out of the world and back again, and while I find it painful to choose among them, here's one early and one late: Zen Cho's Black Water Sister, which comes out in 2021 but I devoured just two days ago, and the long out-of-print Wizards and Witches volume of the Time-Life Enchanted World series, which is where I first read about the legend of the Scholomance."

Naomi Novik is the New York Times bestselling author of the Nebula Award–winning novel Uprooted, Spinning Silver, and the nine-volume Temeraire series. Her latest novel, A Deadly Education, is the first of the Scholomance trilogy.

Christina Lauren are grateful for the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Christina Lauren, Little, Brown and Company

"We are thankful for the Twilight series for about a million reasons, not the least of which it's what brought the two of us together. Writing fanfic in a space where we could be silly and messy together taught us that we don't have to be perfect, but there's no harm in trying to get better with every attempt. It also cemented for us that the best relationships are the ones in which you can be your real, authentic self, even when you're struggling to do things you never thought you'd be brave enough to attempt. Twilight brought millions of readers back into the fold and inspired hundreds of romance authors. We really do thank Stephenie Meyer every day for the gift of Twilight and the fandom it created."

The 20 Best Horror Movies on Netflix UK – Scary Films to Watch Right Now

https://ift.tt/2RE5emn

Netflix is an ever-changing, constantly growing treasure trove of hidden gems and secret delights (here’s everything new on Netflix UK this month). Sometimes, a teeny bit too secret though.

Who hasn’t sat down to watch a horror movie and found themselves scrolling endlessly, either not being able to find something they’re in the mood for, or not really knowing what half the titles are, or if they’re any good?

We’ve scoured the full current catalogue available to watch in the UK now and picked out the best scary movies. It’s a mix of classic and new, and a range of slashers, horror-coms, mumblegore, monster movies and more to hopefully scratch that itch with ease.

We’ll keep this updated as and when titles drop in and out of the service.

Hereditary (2018)

If you haven’t seen this slice of trauma, the feature debut of Ari Aster, you probably should. If you have seen it, you probably won’t want to again. Toni Collette stars as a woman whose controlling mother has just passed away setting of a series of horrible events. Aster says the film was partly inspired by his own sense of his family being cursed – this a movie absolutely drenched in grief and pain with astonishing performances all round. It’s tough going, but it’s a masterpiece. Read our review.

The Platform (2019)

This existential Spanish horror made a splash at the start of lockdown with it’s tale of prisoner trapped in an enormous vertical prison with a platform at it’s centre which delivers food to the inmate floor by floor starting at the top, so that each floor only gets what the floor above has left over. It’s political, allegorical, it’s clever and it’s very violent.

The Endless (2017)

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s gorgeous sci-fi horror stars the two as brother who escaped from a cult ten years ago and are drawn back in in search of answers when a strange videotape arrives. This is their third movie after Resolution and Spring and the two are only growing in strength as directors – The Endless is rammed with indelible imagery and deeply unsettling moments within a plot that is a joy to unpick.

What Keeps You Alive (2018)

Couple Jackie and Jules head to a remote woodland cabin to celebrate their first wedding anniversary but things go bad… Ok this sounds like the most generic slasher in the world but trust us it’s not. Twists hit early on (that we’d hate to spoil) and the tension ramps up fast in a very effective cat and mouse chase with a female bent. This comes from Colin Minihan who made Grave Encounters – this isn’t similar but both have a disorientating sense of place. Read our review.

Orphan (2009)

Released during the heyday of Dark Castle’s mid-budget horror splurge, Orphan is one of those genre films with an absolutely ludicrous (and therefore thoroughly enjoyable) twist, which we will not spoil for you. Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga star as a couple mourning the loss of their baby, who decided to adopt a little Russian girl called Esther from the local orphanage. Things quickly start to go very, very wrong as the pair start to suspect that wee Esther – who insists on dressing like a spooky doll – isn’t all she appears to be. Check out our review.

Insidious (2010)

The many sequels may have yielded diminishing returns but the first of this franchise, about a couple (Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne) whose comatose son appeared to be trapped in another realm by a evil spirit, is a very effective chiller. Horror genius James Wan directs, and the first half of this movie at least is pretty much guaranteed to make you jump out of your skin.

Annihilation (2018)

An all star cast including Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tessa Thompson, plus the quality direction of Alex Garland wasn’t enough to secure this horror sci-fi based on Jeff Vandermeer’s novel a theatrical release in the UK. Nevermind, that just means you can watch it for free on Netflix. Portman joins a crew of women exploring the mysterious Area X where he husband ventured some time before and came back changed. It’s a weird, unfamiliar landscape of beautiful flora and terrifying fauna defying explanation until the strange, indelible finale (not sure what it means? Have a read of this explainer). And you can check out our review, too if you like.

Daybreakers (2009)

You’ll get a little bit of everything with this Spierig Brothers curio. It was the film that really got the directing team noticed and it’s not hard to see why. Set in a dystopian world where basically everyone has been turned into a vampire, one corporation thinks it’d be a bloody (sorry) good idea to track down all the surviving humans and…well, basically milk them. Ethan Hawke stars as a vampire haematologist who starts to think there might be another way for this story to go after he’s collared by a former vampire (Willem Dafoe), who can cure everyone. (Living) dead good. Check out our review.

The Bar (2017)

Slightly bonkers Spanish horror thriller which sees a bunch of strangers stuck in a busy Madrid cafe when snipers begin shooting anyone who tries to leave. Confusion and personality clashes abound in this economical single location chiller with a dark sense of human as the inhabitants slowly discover what’s going on, who’s responsible and try to work out if and how they will survive.

Netflix UK: What’s New in April 2020?

By Kirsten Howard

21 underappreciated films to watch on Netflix UK

By Paul Bradshaw and 2 others

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s love/hate letter to the horror genre felt like something of a game changer when it finally arrived (it was shelved for several years because of financial issue with original distributor MGM). Chris Hemsworth and Haley Bennett star in a double layer story about ordinary kids vacationing in a woodland cabin, with Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins as very particular kinds of bureaucrats up to something in the background. No spoilers, just watch. Here’s our review.

Cargo (2017)

Martin Freeman stars in this Netflix original developed from a short directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke. Set in the Australian outback, Freeman is a father trying to find someone to protect his child in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. More wistful and emotional than that sounds on paper, there’s a fascinating subplot about an Aboriginal girl mourning her father and the final set piece is unforgettable. Check out our review.

Lifeforce (1985)

A Cannon Films classic directed by late Texas Chain Saw legend Tobe Hooper, people are still discovering the ’80s madness that is Lifeforce. Originally entitled Space Vampires, it’s exactly what you’d expect, and so much more. Nude, energy sucking bat creatures are brought back to Earth after an interstellar mission finds a gaggle of them lying dormant in Halley’s Comet, and it all goes very badly for the planet. You can expect a scenery-chewing Patrick Stewart to pop up in between the tits and gore. Not literally! Although, sometimes literally.

Creep (2014)

No, not the one set on the tube, this ‘mumblegore’ horror is far weirder than that. Director Patrice Brice plays Aaron, a videographer hired by Mark Duplass’s Josef to make a video for his kid to watch after he’s died of a terminal illness. Or does he? Playing on the power of politeness and the awkwardness of male relationships this is a highly original, itchily uncomfortable watch. Creep 2 is also on Netflix, and also good!

Hush (2016)

Another smart sensory-based horror, this time from Oculus and Doctor Sleep man Mike Flanagan. This home invasioner sees deaf writer Maddie (Kate Siegel) attacked in her woodland retreat by a masked stranger. He uses her inability to hear to sneak around and terrorise her, but she has tricks of her own up her sleeve. Check out our review.

The Invitation (2015)

Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, Destroyer) just keeps knocking it out of the park (and she’s recently been attached to a Dracula movie from Blumhouse Productions), and with The Invitation she continued to secure her place as one of the best directors around. Here, Will (Logan Marshall-Green) and his girlfriend go to a party held by his formerly suicidal ex-wife, and discover that she seems to be happier than she ever was, but Will starts to suspect that rather than healthily coping with her mental illness, she may well have joined a doomsday cult instead, and be planning to kill them all. Paranoia and tension are at the max in this bad boy. Here’s our review.

Little Evil (2017)

Comedy horror from Eli Craig who made the wonderful Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. This time he’s playing on creepy kid tropes, particular those from The Omen movies. Adam Scott plays a man who discovers his new wife’s (Evangeline Lilly) son might actually be the anti-christ. And because it’s Eli Craig, of course it’s funny and very good natured as well as playing with the genre.

Gerald’s Game (2017)

Another Mike Flanagan offering here – what can we say? he’s damn good! – as Jessie (a spectacular Carla Guigino) and her husband Gerald drive to a remote house to try and spice up their marriage with a bit of gentle BDSM. One problem: Jessie is not into it. At all. Two problems: Gerald carks it, leaving her tied up with only her cunning to help her free herself from her prone, handcuffed predicament. Three problems: a mythical, supernatural killer may be in the house. Stephen King, you’ve done it again. Read our review.

Ravenous (2017)

Unusual Canadian zombie movie (in French) which sees remaining stragglers after an outbreak of the infected band together in disparate groups travelling to find other survivors. Ravenous sets up its infected as worshipping a sort of new religion of found items (chairs, TVs etc.) making comment on the zombification of society. It’s also funny and quite scary, so there’s that.

Veronica (2017)

Loosely based on a true story, Veronica is set in Madrid in 1991 and follows a young woman who messes with a Ouija board who thinks she’s accidentally summoned an evil spirit. Director by Paco Plaza, one of the two directors behind [REC], the movie gained minor notoriety when it first landed on Netflix because of a few viewers finding it overly scary. It’s true there are some seriously creepy bits (but you’ll be fine!).

The Perfection (2018)

Get Out‘s Allison Williams and Dear White People‘s Logan Browning star in this twisty, trashy but nonetheless enjoyable tale of two musical prodigies hothoused at a mysterious academy. It’s lurid and lavish (and it’s got some fairly dodgy sexual politics, we’d warn you) but great lead performances and a tricksy three act structure that keeps you guessing, make this an entertaining and unusual Friday night pick. Read our review.

Want more horror? Here’s our list of 81 genuinely creepy horror movies. Here are some horror movies it’s safe to watch with your kids. And here are some underappreciated Scream-inspired horror movies of the 90s.
