EYNHALLOW by TIM McGREGOR (REVIEW)Â
quickly: a late 1700âs irish housewife has her humble island life disrupted by a strange and inimitable scientist from afar, dr. victor frankenstein: (anatomy as an art / unexpected arrivals and departures / empty graves and ocean caves / heartbreaking decision making / ghosts are just faded memories / mysteries of midwifery / medical malpractice / overly tall people need love too / ogres, trolls, and monsters on the beach / sad sex with your drunk husband vs. empowering sex with a stranger / secrets in a locked room / stories of abandonment / sea salt and stone / telling your true love goodbye / true grief never dies / waiting on lost lovers by the sea).
Meet the overly tall, overly compassionate Agnes. Her father made her denounce her true love because he was poor. Then her evil stepmother orchestrated her marriage to an old man because âno one likes overly tall womenâ. That is how the young Agnes came to be Mrs. Tulloch, the island housewife of the drunkard idiot Mr. Tulloch, who spends his either time beating and berating Agnes, or trying to spoil her with more children.
Island life is hard. The wind blows cold, so Agnes keeps the hearth fire burning. Meals are often meager, but Agnes keeps the pot full (with four children and an oaf of a husband, mind you). She goes to church on Sunday, and she tends to her pregnant best friend Katie when she has the time. Her skill for keeping houses warm and fed (as well as being the only woman on the island not pregnant or elderly) makes her the prime candidate as a temporary cook for the strange new scientist conducting odd experiments on the island. One bowl of stew leads to another, and soon Mrs. Tulloch is entangled in the dark world of Dr. Frankensteinâs experiments.
â â â â â Delightful!
This was such a DELIGHTFUL well-paced period-piece horror story, at only 174 pages, with overtones of romance, sci-fi, and mystery. It was part fable, part wormhole transporting me to a misty brackish island at a time and place far out of reach. Not to mention, the writing was full of charming 1700's-1800's slang. Agnes, our kind host, is warm and benevolent, reminiscent of the Beloved Piranesi. Unlike Piranesi however, her curtailment by menâs expectations will reach its limits. Her wrath will be the result of an irreversible change in her compassionate nature, and it will lead to irreversible changes to the island community itself.

Feltöltöttem egy kronomĂ©tert a stĂșdiĂłs dribbbölre. NĂ©zzetek körĂŒl ha mĂ©g nem lĂĄttĂĄtok, mert ott gyƱjtjĂŒk össze a munkĂĄinkbĂłl az aprĂł rĂ©szleteket amiket nagyon szeretĂŒnk. PĂ©ldĂĄul ez az illusztrĂĄciĂł teljesen mĂĄs szĂnƱ lett vĂ©gĂŒl, de meg akartam mutatni nektek Ăgy is.
Look, I uploaded an illustration to the dribbble of our studio. There we collect the small details we love in our work. Finally this illustration has got completely different colours, but I wanted to show you it this way.
I think it's pretty cool. Draw It during lessons.
Sir wolfsbane, at your service.
Halb sieben Uhr abends, in der Augustinerkirche. MerkwĂŒrdige Zeit fĂŒr eine Trauung, aber passend, An diesem 24. April 1854. Sehr passend, porca miseria!
April 24, 1854
On this day 171 years ago: 16 year old Elisabeth married Emperor Franz Joseph in the Augustinian Church in Vienna.
Okay the Wedding Dress, SERVED

i cant really fully describe how disrespectful the netflix adaptation for the picture of dorian gray is, as i am not the secretly repressed homosexual man who wrote the novel and said all the characters represented him, nor am i a gay man who lived in the 1800âs, but i am queer and i do adore oscar wilde and i have studied his life.
not only is the book one of the first popular and honest representations of homosexuality, but the book is written by a man who said the book represented him. oscar wilde was a homosexual man. and after being arrested for indecency (doing gay things in simple words) wilde lost all his reputation and was pretty much exiled in british society (even beyond) - majority of his plays were phased out of the public and his name was silenced. oscar describes the picture of dorian grayâs three main characters as parts of him. Basil: his trueself, romantic, full of emotion, artistic and finds beauty extremely valuable. Henry: his public persona, the way the public perceive him and finally, Dorian: the man he wants to be - youthful and beautiful. Changing the main emotional plot in this novel, that happens to be romantic and queer, is not only disrespectful to the way Oscar wanted to represent himself, but also disrespectful towards the fact that Oscar himself was convicted for homosexuality and had a passage from the novel, where Basil confesses to Dorian, read in court as evidence against him.
leave queer historical figures alone. you do enough by just denying their identity.
