The Titans' celebrated stories have ensured that the names of Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and the Changeling will be passed down through history alongside those famous aliases employed by Dick Grayson, Donna Troy and Wally West.

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.īut there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power-the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. But Circe is a strange child-not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. "An epic spanning thousands of years that's also a keep-you-up-all-night page turner." - Ann Patchett Despite having little or no formal education and coming from a poor working-class family, she went on to become a leading expert on fossils and discovered several other fossilised skeletons from different creatures, all now extinct. When she was about 12 years old, she and her brother discovered a large fossil which turned out to be the first example of an Ichthyosaur, a previously undescribed but now extinct creature. Mary Anning was born in Lyme Regis in 1799 and learned from her father how to collect fossils from the surrounding cliffs. Both women made major contributions to science so this is ‘lab lit’ in its purist sense. Remarkable Creaturesis a fictionalised account of the intertwined lives of Mary Anning and her friend Elizabeth Philpot. The story stayed with me and when I heard about Tracy Chevalier’s novel Remarkable Creatures, also about Mary Anning, I put it on my “to read” list for the summer holidays. Some years ago, my daughter brought a book home from the library and demanded I read it to her: Fossil Girl by Catherine Brighton, a children’s version of the story of the 19th century fossil hunter, Mary Anning. But how should we react to fictionalised accounts of real people?

Stanley has remained true to that vision and we sat down with him to discuss UFOs, John Carpenter’s The Thing, cancer, and witchcraft. As the narrator near the end of Lovecraft’s story remarks: “What it was, only God knows.” A movie that loses its own mind and feels as paranoid, cruel, ludicrous and radiation-poisoned as its characters. Starring Nicolas Cage as the head of the Gardner family whose property is infected by a meteor that begins to mutate the biology and psychology of everything it touches, Stanley’s film weaponizes the actor’s meta-comedic persona, psychedelic imagery and grotesque body horror to craft a film that is on an irregular and grotesque wavelength of its own making.
