...great novella by Arthur Machen called "The Great God Pan." Knocked my socks off when I was thirteen. Anything by Shirley Jackson. The Haunting of Hill House or The Demon Lover, which is a fabulous story-very eerie, but completely realistic. It suggests that there's a realm that we are very close to, but cannot quite apprehend, a realm that may not be very friendly...
...Native American camps, they leave behind a residue of smudged color. A teepee is gradually erased by remnants of cowboys and horses, paralleling the real devastation in the West while also maintaining a self-referential quality, reminding the viewer of the damage caused by reckless adventures in the digital realm.

For someone who sweats the simple stuff, a summer internship in midtown Manhattan is a veritable hell on earth. Life hands me lemons, and I can’t even figure out how to slice them...

Members of PCC are the right people to educate freshmen about sex because they will be able to move talk about serious topics—like condom use and STI testing at UHS—from the realm of theory to the student dorm. Freshmen may be too shy to seek out PCC or other on-campus resources with questions, and they may be reluctant to talk with authority figures about topics like sex that are socially taboo. With PCC counselors at study breaks, younger students will have...
