5 lecturi de Halloween


Diminetile sunt din ce in ce mai intunecate, zilele din ce in ce mai friguroase, iar mie mi-a revenit cheful de citit povesti  misterioase, de groaza ori suspans. Daca tot se apropie Halloween-ul, m-am gandit sa impart cu voi cateva titluri, perfecte pentru aceasta perioada. Crime nerezolvate, case bantuite, orase blestemate... sunt subiectele cartilor de mai jos. Asa ca luati-va o paturica moale, aprindeti o lumanare parfumata, pregatiti un ceai cald si incepeti sa cititi.

Omul de creta - C.J. Tudor este un roman pe care l-am tot vazut la fetele de pe Instagram. Povestea incepe in 1986, cand Eddie si prietenii lui descopera un cadavru dezmembrat. La o distanta de 30 de ani, acestia primesc un mesaj misterios si trecutul se intoarce la viata mai periculos ca niciodata. Suna palpitant, nu? Din moment ce Stephen King il recomanda, clar nu e de ocolit.
Ceva in apa - Catherine Steadman este un roman plin de personaje misterioase si periculoase, conspiratii, spionaj si rasturnari de situatie. O luna de miere perfecta, in Bora Bora, se transforma intr-un cosmar, atunci cand un cuplu de tineri casatoriti gasesc "ceva" in apa. Ce au gasit, cum le va afecta acel lucru viata, cine e pe urmele lor, veti descoperi daca o cititi. In plus, vom avea o ecranizare a cartii cat de curand.
Doctor Sleep - Stephen King este continuarea romanului-cult Shining si cred ca am spus tot. In plus, povestea a fost ecranizata de Warner Bros. Pictures si va avea premiera luna viitoare.
Dan Torrance, acum adult, se angajeaza la un camin de batrani, unde „stralucirea“ il ajuta sa-i indrume pe rezidenti cat mai lin spre ultimul drum. Dar, cand o intalneste pe Abra Stone, a carei „stralucire“ e cea mai puternica dintre toate, demonii lui Dan revin la viata ca sa il ajute sa se lupte pentru sufletul si supravietuirea fetei. Urmeaza o confruntare dramatica intre fortele raului si ale binelui, cu tensiunile caracteristice lumilor create de maestrul Stephen King.
Casa bantuita - Shirley Jackson este un clasic, despre care eu am aflat de-abia anul trecut. Initial am vazut serialul, apoi doua ecranizari, iar acum e momentul sa citesc si cartea care a stat la baza lor. Stephen King a afirmat despre ea ca este "Unul din cele doua mari romane cu subiect supranatural din ultimii o suta de ani", iar Neil Gaiman ar fi spus: "Sunt putine cartile care m-au speriat profund... Dar Casa bantuita de Shirley Jackson le-a intrecut pe toate... M-a speriat pe cand eram adolescent si inca ma bantuie". Vi s-a facut frica?
Blestemul marii - Shea Ernshaw are ca punct de plecare moartea a trei surori, condamnate la moarte pentru vrajitorie. Ca pedeapsa pentru ce li s-a intamplat, acestea se intorc in fiecare an in oras, in trupul unor tinere si ucid fara mila. Totul se complica atunci cand in orasul blestemat soseste ca din intamplare Bo Carter, un tanar fermecator. Acesta va reusi sa schimbe cursul clasic al evenimentelor.

New story in Health from Time: Here’s How Quickly Coronavirus Is Spreading in Your State

The novel coronavirus pandemic is a global crisis, a national emergency and a local nightmare. But while a great deal of the focus in the U.S. has been on the federal government’s response, widely criticized as slow and halting , the picture on the ground remains very different in different parts of the country. A TIME analysis of the per capita spread of the epidemic in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. found considerable range in the rate of contagion, and, in some parts of the country, a significant disparity compared to the national figure. The U.S., unlike nations such as South Korea and now Italy , has yet to show signs of bringing the runaway spread of the virus under control. However, while no single state is yet showing strong signs of bending the curve , some are faring much worse than others. The following graphic plots the rise in the total confirmed cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents in each state, plotted by the day that each state reported its first case.

New story in Health from Time: We Need to Take Care of the Growing Number of Long-term COVID-19 Patients

On July 7, 2020, the Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez tested positive for the new coronavirus. He was scheduled to start Opening Day for the Sox, but the virus had other plans— damaging Rodriguez’s heart and causing a condition called myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). Now the previously fit 27-year old ace left-hander must sit out the 2020 season to recover. Rodriguez is not alone in having heart damage from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In a new study done in Germany, researchers studied the hearts of 100 patients who had recently recovered from COVID-19. The findings were alarming: 78 patients had heart abnormalities, as shown by a special kind of imaging test that shows the heart’s structure (a cardiac MRI), and 60 had myocarditis. These patients were mostly young and previously healthy . Several had just returned from ski trips. While other studies have shown a lower rate of heart problems—for example, a study of 416 patients hosp

New story in Health from Time: U.S. Inmates ‘Mistakenly’ Received COVID-19 Stimulus Checks. Now, the IRS Wants That Money Back

(BOISE, Idaho) — Hundreds of thousands of dollars in coronavirus relief payments have been sent to people incarcerated across the United States, and now the IRS is asking state officials to help claw back the cash that the federal tax agency says was mistakenly sent. The legislation authorizing the payments during the pandemic doesn’t specifically exclude jail or prison inmates, and the IRS has refused to say exactly what legal authority it has to retrieve the money. On its website, it points to the unrelated Social Security Act, which bars incarcerated people from receiving some types of old-age and survivor insurance benefit payments. “I can’t give you the legal basis. All I can tell you is this is the language the Treasury and ourselves have been using,” IRS spokesman Eric Smith said. “It’s just the same list as in the Social Security Act.” Read more: ‘A Double Whammy.’ Those Who Most Need The $1,200 Stimulus Checks May Wait the Longest To Get Them Tax attorney Kell
