Many A Star Wars Story!

-
Since I am still jumping up and down in pure excitement at the Solo: A Star Wars Story teaser release, I thought this next piece would be super fun to do!



In the past year or so we have seen a rise in YA authors bringing out books on characters in the Marvel and DC Universe and they are definitely getting some huge review, with fans loving books like Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo, a Wonder Woman novel and more. BUT, there are a large collection of Star Wars novels from even more loved authors, so I thought to myself ; WE NEED A LIST!

So to fill that millennium falcon sized space inside you that's looking to be stuffed with Star Wars geek-ness and goodness; here's some books available now to help pass the time till the Solo release!

Claudia Gray
Claudia Gray is an author, best known in the YA/Book community for the Firebird Trilogy; A Thousand Pieces of You, Ten Thousand Skies Above You and A Million Worlds With You. Claudia has written a few Star Wars books and these are:



🌌
Alexandra Bracken:
Alexandra Bracken is a massive name within the YA Sci-Fi community, best known for her Darkest Minds Trilogy, Passenger Duology and her recent release The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Reading! I am yet to read this Star Wars book but when I found out about it in my research I had like a mixture of book and film fangirling which was....weird...! Alexandra's Stars Wars book contribution is this:

Elizabeth Wein:
Elizabeth Wein is known well for her books, but the most common I see around are Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire, which are stories set in World War 2 with predominantly female characters. Elizabeth's Star Wars book is fairly new, published with characters from The Last Jedi in 2017:

E. K. Johnston:
E. K. Johnston recently gave us That Inevitable Victorian Thing and before that gave us A Thousand Nights and Spindle, fans were granted even MORE, with this next Star Wars novel:

Beth Revis:
Beth obviously gave us the Across The Universe trilogy and showed us she had a head for YA science fiction and we were graced with not only a Rogue One based book but she was also part of a graphic novel series:

🌓Honourable Mentions!🌗


I just also wanted to put a couple down here that I think are worthy mentioning and making you aware that they exist and they are:



Phantom Menace Novelisation by Shannara author Terry Brooks.
&
Star Wars: From A Certain Point Of View with stories by YA authors such as Pierce Brown, Sabaa Tahir and stars like Wil Wheaton!

🌌

So here is a bunch of new Star Wars novels for you to go and check out by some of the most loved and popular authors in the book community, if you're anything like me it's made you both happy that they exist and sad that you can't buy them all immediately!

ALSO, if you haven't already or so again, go and check out the new trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story!

Inhumane: Welcome Back to The Female Werewolf!

-
Image
What is better than a new horror feature about a female werewolf? Not much, I had a think about it and yeah, not much. Lucky for us there are still creatives who understand this NEED for movies with plots such as this one and Eric Winkler is one of them; a fairly new on the market writer who has bought us not only a new horror movie but has done so with the sharp bite of woman empowerment. Inhumane is, as said, a female led werewolf movie in which our main character Lisa has something horrific happen...hold on, let me have the brains behind the movie tell you a little what it’s about, that’s right Velvet-ians, I got to speak to the man himself; Where did the idea for Inhumane come from and made you want to write it? ERIC:  My original thought was "I want to write a movie with a really badass woman as the lead character." Basically, I thought it'd be cool if we had her be a superhero, but her superpower is that she's a werewolf. Well, originally I couldn...

Ouija (2014) Review.

-

Cast; Olivia Cooke, Darren Kagasoff, Douglas Smith. Director; Stiles White. Ouija is a 2014 horror film about a group of friends who use an Ouija board to try and communicate with their friend who recently and surprisingly hung herself with her fairy lights. But of course this is a horror film, so the communication they make is not a heart-warming reunion with their loved one but much more haunting. Slowly one by one they are being killed by deceased, deranged and murderous spirits of a Mother and Daughter; but which one is really the murderer? Now even though almost every review I saw of this movie was terrible, I had to see it for myself, I was intrigued as to why it was apparently so terrible! Also I am a massive Texas Chainsaw fan and a producer of Texas also produced this movie. I will tell you though, this film is not majorly gory, there are no chainsaws and although I wasn’t impressed with it I was entertained, but this movie will probably get lost in the pile of oth...

Saving The Outsiders House: Danny O'Connor.

Moviepilot.com/Warner Bros. The Outsiders is an american drama movie adaptation of  S. E. Hinton's book with the same title. It was realised in 1983 and had a cast of many familiar faces before they were as familiar and famous as they are today; Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and pre-Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, with C. Thomas Howell as the lead. The film tackled themes of class, brotherhood and murder and caught it all in a gritty, honest and beautiful bubble. Simply unforgettable. This cult classic was directed by one of the greats Francis Ford Coppola whose name stands against the ever lasting titles of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and one of my favourites, Bram Stoker's Dracula. With all these fantastic names behind it, from my point of view, I'm surprised it's as cult and underrated as it is. However with that being said, I learnt just how large the ever growing fan base for this movie was  when the key character of the movie was due to be ...
