I think part of our work as horror writers in 2024 is to help people unlock the parts of themselves that can face terror and adversity without losing their humanity & goodness. We are entering an era of fear and horror like our species has never faced. We need heart.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

I'd add that the disruption is meant to reveal some hidden truth needing to be addressed (old family grievance="flyover states are ignored").

Am I wrong, or was there noticeable complacency back in the 90s? That we had reached the goals and all would be well forever? Is there a liberal Federaliat Society? An Opus Dei for progressive Christians?

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

💙📚 Talk about the books you love. Just posting the book cover and saying the book is significant to you is not enough. The cover alone is just like a pile of promo postcards or bookmarks, sitting unheralded on the bookstore counter (which customers rarely take with them). Your words matter.

There's an episode of Nigel Kneale's teleplay series BEASTS that is still one of the absolute scariest things that's ever been on broadcast on television, an hour long two-hander called During Barty's Party. An older couple slowly realize that a hyper predatory horde of rats has laid siege to them.

I just finished one!
A troubled homemaker goes to a waterpark slide, encounters horror, and maybe spiritual grace? Or maybe just amusing grossness, we'll have to see.
Set up an appointment with Wendy Wagner for her to give me some guidance.

Worse, we couldn’t afford $15/hr lifeguards bc the money went to cops, who were needed to patrol beaches to keep people out of the water because swimming without lifeguards is unsafe 🤪.
