Speak No Evil (2024)

A family is invited to spend a whole weekend in a lonely home in the countryside, but as the weekend progresses, they realize that a dark side lies within the family who invited them.

In the evening Jaiden, Esme, and I watched Speak No Evil. Alice, at first, didn't want to watch the movie but later on joined us. I liked the movie and give it a 7 out of 10.

Maske: Thaery

Far across the galaxy on the planet Maske, young Jubal Droad leaves home to make his fortune. Droad attaches himself to the powerful court of Nai the Hever, and is made an interplanetary economic spy. Jubal courts Mieltrude - the cold-blooded, beautiful daughter of the house - and becomes the rival and enemy of the brutal Ramus Ymph. In disguise, Jubal leaves the planet and proves Ramus' connection to a sinister interplanetary cartel that covets a foothold on Maske; Jubal pursues Ramus, and finds him among the Waels - a strange people who worship intelligent trees. The trees will determine the outcome of their final confrontation...

In the evening I started in Maske: Thaery by Jack Vance. I had downloaded the ebook with cover art by C. Michael Taylor. I've read the book before, maybe even more than once, but it has been a while. So, time for a reread.
