Vavachan's story was one that made for the perfect mould to infuse all the distinct traits that made up Kuttanad," Hareesh explained.īut then, landscapes only skim the surface. I had always wanted to write about its landscapes and the fioloktales and myths embodied in the region. The region of Kuttanad, where my story is set, holds many distinct characteristics.

![]() ![]() The connections with the previous books of the series (including periodic recaps and reminders as well as appearances by Princess Tulip, Snow White, Queen Grimhilde, and more) as well as the back story shared among Maleficent and the other characters are told in lengthy, sometimes-clunky expository passages and flashbacks. ![]() But Maleficent needs Aurora gone for good, so she abducts Prince Phillip and seeks the assistance of two other powerful witches, Circe and Nanny, to ensure Aurora never wakes. Although they were lost in the land of dreams after Poor Unfortunate Soul (2016), they give enough advice that Maleficent succeeds in the spindle plot. ![]() Maleficent turns to the villainous witch trio the Odd Sisters for aid finding Aurora. Disney’s Villains series’ fourth installment highlights Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the author's note at the end of Firestarter you say, “to my daughter Naomi, who brightens up everything and helped me to understand-as much as any man can-what it is to be a young, intelligent girl approaching the age of 10. Your own three kids helped inspire some of your child characters. It stars Ryan Kiera Armstrong as young Charlie McGee and Zac Efron as her protective father, whose own telepathic ability to “push” people into doing things is gradually killing him. ![]() With a new Firestarter debuting in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service, the author is weighing in with his thoughts. (Or, at least, to roast those who have it coming.) That 1980 novel about an extraordinary little girl on the run from government agents who want to weaponize her, combined some of King’s favorite themes: a child learning to manage hidden strengths, a defiant mistrust of authority, and a twisted yearning to see the world burn. King gets much more flamboyant in his fiction, with characters who channel fear, anger, or sorrow into all-consuming infernos in everything from Carrie to The Stand to his most iconic tale of pyrokinesis: Firestarter. ![]() If lost in the woods, like a Jack London character craving light and heat, all the author could do to ignite a blaze is reach into his pockets and hope for the best. Stephen King can’t tell you how to actually start a fire. ![]() ![]() He swears it was his daughter, Honor, then at home in London with her mother and sisters Iris and Hero. No story compares with the voice he heard when the second of three bombs left him torn apart and blacked out. There was the Ukrainian special forces officer driving by after the bombing who saw Hall’s wave and put him in a car, the lucky train ride from Kyiv to Poland, the 30 - and counting - surgeries he’s endured as he heals from the March 14, 2022, incident. ![]() Truth is, it was probably several miracles that enabled Hall to sit in a cafe at Fox’s New York headquarters recently to discuss the book he’d written about his ordeal. ![]() NEW YORK (AP) - A year after nearly being killed by Russian bombs while covering the war in Ukraine, Fox News’ Benjamin Hall credits a relentless optimism - and what he describes as an unexplained miracle - for getting him through. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not the people in your lives coming to you and saying, “You need to do better.” It’s not all of the other countless ways in which Black people in this country are funneled into the prison-industrial complex. It’s not the person in your office saying that they’re being discriminated against. It’s hard to know that that’s what it takes to get people to listen. ![]() But it seems like it’s getting this massive response only when we see the horrific, blatant, disturbing murder of a Black man on camera, instead of all of the other times that we’ve been hurt and dismissed and brutalized over the years.
