BOOK

A selection of shots from Steve Schapiro, who photographed Warhol and his friends (including Edie Sedgwick and the Velvet Underground & Nico) throughout 1966, a pivotal year for the pop artist.

NOVEL

2. 'How to Sell a Haunted House'

This horror tale about two adult siblings dealing with a parent's death and a house full of puppets - is a searing look at grief, trauma, and how the things that haunt us aren't always supernatural.

PODCAST

3. 'What Makes This Song Stink'

Philly guitar hero Pat Finnerty found fame by eviscerating songs like 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite" and Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" on his YouTube series. Now, he's adapted it into a podcast, where he and guests like Kamau Bell carve up tunes by Maroon 5, Santana, and perhaps Finnerty's favorite target, Kid Rock.
