Hmmm, so who is this mysterious aunt? And why would Adrienne’s mother lie to Adrienne about her existence? Actually, she was more than estranged-Adrienne’s mother (who had recently passed) had sworn they had no other relatives. Adrienne moves into a spooky old house bequeathed to her by her estranged Aunt Edith. “The Haunting of Ashburn House” was the first book I’ve read by Darcy Coates, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. ![]() Something twisted and evil lives in her house, and Adrienne must race to unravel the decades-old mystery… before she becomes Ashburn’s latest victim. ![]() And a grave hidden in the forest hints at a terrible, unforgivable secret. Furniture moves when she leaves the room. Strange messages have been etched into the wallpaper. She doesn’t know why her estranged Aunt Edith bequeathed Ashburn to her, but it’s a lifeline she can’t afford to refuse.Īdrienne doesn’t believe in ghosts, but it’s hard to rationalize what she sees.

This show comes with huge spoilers not just for the first couple of volumes of Sandman, which have been adapted by Netflix, but for the whole comic book series, and we will be discussing the final ending. Sandman's mantelpiece, groaning under the weight of a World Fantasy Award (the only comic to have achieved this), a Bram Stoker Award, and no fewer than 26 Eisner awards, attests to this. ![]() This year Tade talks with us about Sandman, arguably Neil Gaiman's greatest piece of work, and another example of the comic book medium bursting free from its pulpy roots and demonstrating that it can stand up as art and literature. He is also a self-confessed comics junkie, which he proved when he joined us last year to delve into the great WATCHMEN. We're joined today by Tade Thompson, the multi award-winning author of such books as Rosewater, Making Wolf, Far From the Light of Heaven, and the Molly Southbourne novellas. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sera is worried about Cedar traveling anywhere because some sort of apocalyptic event is underway.

But after you get your ugly cries out in the shower, there’s always another game. We were ahead with two minutes left, but we let in a late goal and lost on penalty kicks. My first major loss was the 2011 World Cup. ![]() ![]() It’s important to allow yourself to feel in that moment. It’s about the process and the journey, the people you’re with, continuing to grow and learn, and getting better every day.Īfter major setbacks-big losses, injuries-how do you reset and recover? I’ve won a lot in my career, and I’ve lost a lot. You can only try to not make the same mistake twice. Not even World Cup penalty shots make you nervous? So I just revel in those moments: having that huge crowd with all those crazy fans and millions watching on TV, being in the spotlight when so often women in sports are not. I see myself as an entertainer as well as an athlete, probably more the former than the latter. Now that I’ve played in front of 50,000, 60,000, 70,000 people, my nightmare is to play in front of 2,500. So if you’re a starter on the women’s national team and you’ve made it to the World Cup, you’ve gone through the gantlet. We’re constantly in the pressure cooker, and there is the expectation of perfection. Also, the team has been so successful for so many years. I’m a pretty confident person and luckily don’t deal with a lot of anxiety.
