First Trailer for Robert Eggers' Nosferatu Released

The Roaring Twenties, often romanticized as a frivolous decade, were actually marked by significant social challenges such as prejudice and crime exacerbated by Prohibition. Kate Atkinson's new novel, 'Shrines of Gaiety,' explores this darker side through the rise of Nellie Coker, a determined woman navigating London's nightlife amid competition and danger. Meanwhile, Robert Eggers' upcoming gothic horror film 'Nosferatu' has generated buzz with its official trailer, showcasing a tale of obsession between a young woman and a vampire, set to release on December 25, 2024. The film boasts a notable cast including Bill Skarsgård and Willem Dafoe. Additionally, a live performance of an abridged version of the original 1922 'Nosferatu' will be held at the San Diego Central Library, featuring music by various renowned composers. This combination of literature and cinema highlights the enduring fascination with the themes of horror and societal struggles.
