Heilung @ Forum Theatre

March 9, 2023June 7, 2024yggdrasille
Heilung was unlike any other live show I’ve been to, a mystical, otherworldly experience that’s part music concert, part ritual that seeks to connect with the ancient world of northern Europe.

Harry Styles @ Marvel Stadium

February 28, 2023June 7, 2024yggdrasille
I enjoyed the hits, charm and showmanship, but spending a couple of hours in a stadium packed with thousands of delirious screaming girls was a tad too much for this geriatric millennial*.

February 14, 2023June 7, 2024yggdrasille

While the Light Lasts by Agatha Christie – Book Review

February 7, 2023June 7, 2024yggdrasille
A collection of early short stories that I suspect would only be of interest to diehard Christie devotees and completists.

The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe – Book Review

February 2, 2023June 7, 2024yggdrasille
It took me a couple of reads to wrap my head around this haunting, disorienting and imaginative trio of sci-fi novellas that take the reader into a labyrinth full of mirrors and puzzles.

January 24, 2023June 7, 2024yggdrasille
