Anders Fager seems to be influenced, more than by Lovecraft, by Clive Barker although I admit he has his own personal imagery, making him original and different from much current horror.

 Fager’s style is simple and sharp as a blade and it leads us to the heart of a Swedish forest where a boy... will finally be sacrificed to Shub Niggurath.

Anders Fager's Culti svedesi is a Swedish horror anthology inspired by Lovecraft's universe but featuring Fager's distinctive style and original imagery. The stories explore supernatural cults and dark Swedish settings with a sharp, simple style. The review praises certain tales for their intensity and thematic depth while noting the book's reflection of loneliness and desolation in modern society. Though Lovecraft's influence is mainly citational, Fager's work stands out for its unique contributions to the genre. The book is available in Italian translation from Edizioni Hypnos. Explore Anders Fager’s dark, original tales in Culti svedesi and experience a fresh take on Lovecraftian horror.

 He’s talented but doesn’t apply himself.

 The film doesn’t ooze the protagonist’s drama, it narrates it from an almost ironic, inexplicable distance.

Richard Linklater’s latest film 'Bernadette' showcases his talent but lacks full commitment, resulting in a half-hearted work. Despite strong performances by Cate Blanchett and Emma Nelson, the film struggles with pacing and narrative depth. The tone often clashes with the serious themes, and key emotional aspects are revealed too late.

 What makes The Song of Achilles and, indeed, this Circe, books of value, is the originality of the approach.

 The witch, the woman, and later the mother, emerge from the expressionless shell of divinity.

Madeline Miller's Circe is a refined and imaginative retelling of classical mythology centered on the titular witch's coming-of-age journey. The novel excels through a unique narrative focus and vivid prose, deepening characters like Odysseus and Athena. While nearly flawless in structure and style, a less integrated subplot involving Medea and Jason marks its only weakness.

 If I had to choose an album that encapsulates all the best features of progressive music without any negative side, without hesitation I’d choose Octopus by Gentle Giant.
