Book – ***** The Green Mile (1996)
Stephen King masterpiece centered on all those servicing and sitting in the electric chair with fantasy and supernatural elements sprinkled on top to make the terrifying dish palatable.

Long but satisfactory continuation of the killer downer of the prior film. Characters bits seem more balanced and the audience responded.
Elana A. Mugdan’s engaging fantasy of Keriya Nameless as a pawn in a power struggle between dragons and opposing magic wielders who want to dominate them.
J.D. Baker’s masterful retelling of the vampire legend with the great grandson of Bram Stoker, Dacre Stoker, and access to unpublished notes. Baker capture’s the same mood and plays to our immortal interest in death and the possibility of cheating it.
A Neal Schusterman treatise on empathy. Fantasy that plays with our real-world emotional responsibilities by the author of Scythe.
Sad remake of original, but not sad in the same heart-rending way the original was. Don’t bother to go, but I won’t drop the spoilers of what doesn’t work in case you can’t stop yourself.
Victoria Aveyard fantasy of a future world of red and silver blooded humans with supernatural power over both physics and the brains of each other. The main character. Mare, though a lowly Red, can control electricity. The princes of the Silver Realm control heat, but others can cancel their powers…
Another compelling book by Naomi Novik, but not the sequel to Uprootedthat I thought it was. Naomi has a gift for character that turns her story of moneylenders into a major work of magical fantasy.
Well-done animated post alien-invasion sci-fi where android bots battle for the floating-city masters who control them.
Surprisingly, a fun addition to the original, reprising a few things but with all new songs beautifully done.
