About This Story

I have maybe a strange relationship with the horror genre. I enjoy the stories, but I myself don’t experience the fright reaction that so many people seem to have and enjoy. Because of that, I feel like I have a hard time judging quality. I love the cerebral, experimental horror of Brian Evenson, and the otherworldly horror of somebody like Ligotti or Lovecraft. I really enjoy Stephen King’s world-building.

But none of them scare me. So I’m not sure I can give horror readers what they want.

Anyway.

This is a horror story.
