These Violent Delights

Heady, smart, and vicious, These Violent Delights strikes every note with precision, layering romance and politics into a roaring 20s Shanghai of both monsters and monstrous imperialism

Meghan and Harry's Oprah Interview and the Mental Health Conversation

Content Warning: This article discusses Mental Health, Depression, and Suicidal Ideation. Readers should proceed with caution. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's hotly-anticipated interview with Oprah was always going to be an event for the ages.
