The Baroness, an infamous exploitation film long thought destroyed by Nazi fire, is discovered fifty years later. When lonely archivist Ellen Kramer—deeply closeted and pathologically repressed—begins restoring the hedonistic movie, it unspools dark desires from deep within her.
As Ellen is consumed by visions and voices, she becomes convinced the movie is real, and is happening to her—and that frame by frame, she is unleashing its occult horrors on the world. Her life quickly begins to spiral out of control.
Until it all fades to black, and all that remains is a voice asking a question Ellen can’t answer but can’t get out of her mind.
For the month of Halloween, we're reading the 1938 creature feature novella that inspired John Carpenter's The Thing! The story has also been published as "The Thing from Another World" and "Frozen Hell". For easiest access, the e-book is available in the Arapahoe district Libby system.
I am scheduling us a full year to read Stephen King's "The Stand". 48 hours long on audio, more than 1k pages and longer than the Bible, "The Stand" tells the story of a post-apocalypse that has left behind only Good and Evil people. They begin to take sides in two factions, preparing for what the world will be.
