Watch Caitríona Balfe read an extract from 'Prophet Song', a Booker Prizes 2023-shortlisted novel written by Paul Lynch.
The story so far: Ireland is in the grip of a government that is taking a turn towards tyranny. On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her doorstep. Two officers from Ireland's newly formed secret police want to speak with her husband. And as the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a collapsing society.

Remember when Eilish found herself caught within the nightmare logic of a collapsing society?
In your opinion are there any natal aspects that would cause someone someone to be attracted to controversial figures or people with a bad reputation?
Yes.
Placements That Attract Controversial/Rebel Types
1. Aquarius placements (Uranus rules rebellion) this includes:
Aqua venus
Aqua moon
Aqua 7th house
Aqua 4th house
Aqua 3rd house (house of learning)
Aqua 9th house (house of beliefs)
Aqua 11th (peers/friends/community)
2. Pisces/Neptunian placements (Neptune rules martyrdom/draws in addicts)
Pisces 5th house
Pisces venus (Savior complex)
Pisces 11th (takes in strays)
Venus touching Neptune
12th house stelliums
3. Aries/Martian placements ( 0 fucks given. Love a good badass). This includes:
Aries suns
Aries moons
Aries Mars
Aries risings
Aries 7th house (relationships)
4. Scorpio placements (Pluto rules psychology/the taboo. Scorpios are severly misunderstood so they'd likely want to understand the psyche of said controversial figure. Scorpios are also half Martian.) This includes:
Scorpio sun
Scorpio rising
Scorpio moon
Scorpio Venus (would draw in the person romantically)
Scorpio 3rd house
Scorpio 7th
Scorpio 11th
Scorpio 12th
Honorable mentions:
Lilith heavy natives (Lilith is the definition of bad rep. She exudes and draws in this energy)
Chiron heavy natives (is wounded but wants to heal. Would likely try and help the controversial figure)
Nessus (abuser asteroid) touching Venus or moon (natal or synastry).
Cancerian placements due to lunar energy wanting to nurture/take care of others.
Yoshi/Birdo
Geno/Mario/Princess Peach
Prince Peasley/Luigi/Princess Daisy
King Bowser/Rosalina
Wario/Captain Syrup
King Boo/Hellen Gravely
Diddy Kong/Dixie Kong

My Daddy's Corn Pone Recipe
In order to help create a super moist, dense texture, this simple method for making corn pone differs slightly from that of cornbread and involves melting butter into boiling water.
Chef John's Creme Caramel Recipe
Creme caramel belongs on the short list for 'World's Greatest Dessert.' The way the almost-burnt caramel layer gets fused on, and becomes one with, the creamy custard is nothing short of magic. 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup creme fraiche, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup white sugar, cooking spray, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon orange cognac, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
