Gaudy Night
While most contemporary mysteries kick off with a dead body, and gallop along at a headlong pace, GAUDY NIGHT, first published in 1935, is a far more mannered work. Rather than focus on violence, this classic novel uses both the mystery and the personal lives of the characters to debate whether it`s possible for a woman to balance the demands of the intellectual life and of a successful marriage. The detective novelist Harriet Vane returns to Shrewsbury, her Oxford alma mater. The Dean has asked her to track down a
Poison Pen,
a perpetrator of a series of venomous notes and acts of petty vandalism. The
Poison Pen
seems to be trying to ruin the reputation of Shrewsbury, and, by extension, that of women`s education as a whole. The evidence suggests that the guilty party must be someone at the college: a maid, a student, or possibly even one of the professors. Harriet can`t identify the culprit and is obliged to summon Lord Peter Wimsey, the aristocratic amateur sleuth who, despite Harriet`s many rejections, still wants to marry her. The central issue of the book--the tension between a woman`s personal and professional life--remains relevant today.

A chilling and enigmatic adaptation of a bestseller by Japanese novelist Suzuki Koji, THE RING VIRUS centers around a journalist who is investigating her cousin's mysterious demise. She finds and watches a videotape in her cousin's home that predicts its viewer's death in a week's time; the tape, however, cuts off at the point where it seems about to provide an antidote to this curse. The heroine, together with a lecherous doctor who harbors sympathy for supernatural concerns, must solve the puzzle presented by the tape and the multiple unexplained deaths without allowing the information to fall into the wrong hands. Gripping, emotional, and thoroughly entertaining, this film is a must-see for anyone who enjoyed THE RING, as well as horror fans in general.
