The mass of horror movies are already beginning to dwindle from Netflix and movie channels, and all of our favorite spooky delights are being pulled from the shelves of stores and stored in garages until next October.

Satisfy your hunger for a good scare with the “Lore” podcast.

Podcasts are great, firstly. There is one for just about every interest and it a perfect way to make even the most menial tasks a pleasure. It’s a stretch, but you may even enjoy doing the dishes or deep-cleaning your bedroom with the company of a good podcast.

Before you dive into the endless choices, though, add “Lore” to your list.

“Lore” was created by author Aaron Mahnke in 2015 and received the iTunes “Best of 2015” Award, and rightly so.

It is a non-fiction horror compilation with 49 episodes, a new episode being added biweekly.

In October, though, Mahnke treats us with an episode each week, in honor of a horror lover’s favorite night, of course.

“Lore” satisfies history buffs, as well. Each episode analyzes folklore within historical events and dives into the darkest sides of human nature, possibly the scariest part of the content. Whether it is stories that we are familiar with or not, there is always something to learn in the 20-30 minutes of each episode.

His content is packed with information, but not in a way that is overwhelming. It’s as if he is taking you through the pages of a textbook, but the best one you have ever been assigned. It sounds like an impossible feat, but Mahnke has done just that.

Mahnke certainly has a way with words. His writing is educated without being above his listeners and he speaks steadily and clearly. His deliverance is perfect for listener enjoyment. He keeps you on the edge of your seat. It truly feels like a night around the fire at summer camp.

The soundtrack is fantastic, as well. It’s the perfect addition to the content. Music really can make or break media, and in this case it gives it the extra edge it deserves. The pauses are filled with these tunes, and allows the listener to absorb the previous information while enjoying a good beat.

Legend says that a television production of “Lore” is in progress, and avid listeners can’t be more excited. If just his spoken content is this enjoyable, imagine what a television adaptation could bring us.

So, do yourself a favor and head to iTunes to subscribe to this gem!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
