I did not have an introduction to Korean folklore on my 2025 Bingo list, but I am glad I got to check that box off. In The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang, we join young Serin on her journey through the mythical market, where Dokkaebi guide her through their fantastical realm as she searches for a better future for herself. Serin is lonely. The kind of lonely that haunts your steps, that you carry around with you like a heavy package.

It’s the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season, bringing with it all those magical winter holiday specials. Yet, somehow, this movie, Hot Frosty, debuted at Number One on the Netflix lists last week starring Lacey Chabert and Dusty Milligan:Now, obviously this is a spoof of the Hallmark-y Christmas rom-com, but somehow, I am not sure I’m ready for sexy snow people.

I have always loved a fairy story. From the Flower Fairies I played with in my childhood, to the Bat Boys that occupy my middle age novels, something about the otherness of the fairy world has long lingered in my imagination.

Whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving, you have to notice there seems to be a lack of distinct music for this holiday. Churchgoers are always hearing the hymn “We Gather Together,” and then there’s Adam Sandler’s ditty that came out in 1992 as part of this Weekend Update bit for Saturday Night Live. Remember, it’s SNL, so there are some not-so-family-friendly references:Yet it seems at Thanksgiving many people are already tuning into holiday and Christmas music before dessert is even served.

Most prominently, there’s music news coming out this past week from both the official BTS feed and official feed for the estate of Bing Crosby. Yes, that Bing Crosby. BTS member V (Kim Taehyeong) will release a duet mix of Crosby’s classic “White Christmas” on December 6.
