The question used to be whether to read the book or watch the movie. These days, of course, there is a third option, which is to listen to the audio version of a book narrated by the familiar voice of a favorite actor. A-list celebrities are venturing into the burgeoning audiobook scene, bringing life to children's books, adding new textures to old classics, and even making personal memoirs more intimate by reciting them firsthand.

I guess I write for a multitude of reasons, many of which are unconscious and indescribable to me, or, in other words, internal motivations that arise in an unknown location inside of my mind. I know that much. You often hear writers say they can’t present a bullet-pointed description of what compels them to write, that writing comes about when you feel like it is something you must do against all else.

“Kate’s thirtieth birthday is going to be killer...”If this comic was a movie, that’s the tagline I’d imagine on the poster. And I think low budget horror movie vibes are what cartoonist Steve Thueson was shooting for with The Night Never Ends. Kate, a woman of the punk-leaning persuasion, is about to turn thirty. She has suckered four of her friends to spend the last night of her twenties in an abandoned house, in a bad neighborhood, with a Ouija board. Real smart, Kate.
