Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice (Everyman Cinema)
As a seminal film of my youth, I wasn’t entirely sure about sullying it with a sequel that wasn’t up to muster. With my favourite season edging towards us, and two kids enticed by the macabre, I couldn’t resist an Autumnal afternoon at my local Everyman. The cast remains undeniably brilliant, and Jenna Ortega was made for Tim Burton films. A couple of glasses of Pinot noir, and I was fully immersed.
The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, by Stuart Turton.
A sensationally good debut for both the story and the writing. The author doesn't drop a word or miss a beat. The protagonist comes to, running through the woods, witnessing what he thinks is a murder, on the approach to the nightmare of Blackheath House. He has just eight "hosts" in which to inhabit, to solve a murder and free himself from the never-ending loop on the edge of insanity. A real stand out for me; one that requires focus.

Sans Soucis, Dancing on This.
Difficult to categorise, there’s something of Tame Impala, one of my favourite artists, about this. The woman has talent and this is an un-beat spin that works well when, striding, or driving across the city.
