Self-Styled Siren

My personal Substack

Charles Taylor's Substack

Sole owner and cinematic barista - writing online about film since 2005. Cinema Studies at New York University. Unapologetic auteurist without the orthodoxy of the traditional canon.

Blatant self-promotion for my novels because I never want to have a real job again. But, hey, it's only monthly and it's free.

Writings, long and short, about cinema, culture, and other moving images.

Actresses, awards, and cinematic musings

Harriet the Spy started it all. I’m a misanthrope who loves people. TCB.

Deeper into movies (and a little TV). Essays, reviews, conversation. Past and present. From the editors of The Dissolve.
