by Caroline Basile, associate editor

“The Mist,” which stars Marcia Gay Harden, Chris Owen and Thomas Jane, is a film adaptation of King’s novella, which was first published in the 1980 horror anthology “Dark Forces,” edited by Kirby McCauley. It later appeared in King’s short story collection “Skeleton Crew.”

'The Veat' bids farewell

by Courtney Bullard, co-news editor and Heather Daniel, co-news editor

For the last installment of the “Veat,” Heather and I decided to try out Melt, which, to my surprise, are not only a bar but a restaurant as well.

Melt has a dark atmosphere, with private booths and lanterns on the table, which, much to Heather’s disappointment, were not lit. It generally looks like a bar. If you want privacy, there are plenty of places to sit and hide away. The restaurant is clean, and the overall environment was very pleasant.  It is not loud, because there is not much of a crowd while they are still serving food.
