It’s been a busy one, but we’ve also managed to kick back with some good books, films and TV shows. And one slightly dubious film. Here are the best things we read and watched this month:

They’re all classics – up there with The Godfather, Shawshank and Labyrinth (oh yes indeed) on the ‘if it’s on the telly you’ll make time to watch it despite having the DVD’ list. But even the best things can have awful, unforeseen consequences…

On a rainy night in present-day Cornwall, seventeen-year-old Kaz Cecka sneaks into the long-abandoned Sweetclover Hall, in search of a dry place to sleep. Instead he finds a frightened housemaid who believes Charles I is king and an angry girl who claims to come from the future. In TimeBomb, Kaz, Dora and Jana discovered that they could travel through time when they clasped hands. In Second Lives, they’ll discover that’s just the beginning of their powers… and their trouble.
We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to reveal the cover of SECOND LIVES, the explosive follow-up to TimeBomb, after the jump!

Jaws and The Poseidon Adventure ruined the ocean for my entire generation, The Blair Witch Project and Willow Creek tainted camping trips forever, and thanks to The Descent and Frozen (not the animated one with brain-searing songs and dresses, the one with ski lifts and carnivores) adventure holidays will never be same.
Horror novels are no exception. Here are four cracking holiday-themed holiday reads that will ensure you’ll need a vacation to get over your vacation:

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Well, you and this incredible all-new cover celebrating Dune’s 50th anniversary!

Behind every great work of science fiction is a legion of fans who want to cosplay as it, bake it, knit it and recreate with LEGO. Today, we’re taking a look at some of the ways fans have paid tribute to the most recognisable occupant of the Dune universe, the Sandworm.
