I wrote this last year and didn’t think anyone would read it (or care). People did read it though. Conversations were had and a few horror people use the word less/have conversations about the use of the word in their work.

It's interesting to me that the American authors conservatives deem acceptable/non-woke/masculine--your Steinbecks, Cormac McCarthys, Faulkners, Hemingways etc--all identify brutality as the fundamental language and original sin of the United States. There's nothing very patriotic about their work.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Earlier this year, I stated that I was working on something comprehensive about CAMP MIASMA. This is a video essay on the history of trans psycho killers and how CAMP MIASMA uses that history for subversion and reclamation. I hope you enjoy it. mubi.com/en/program-n...

shirley jackson you tell em www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...
ar and away the greatest menace to the writer—any writer, beginning or otherwise
—is the reader. The reader is, after all, a kind of silent partner in this whole business of writing, and a work of fiction is surely incomplete if it is never read. The reader is, in fact, the writer's only unrelenting, genuine enemy. He has everything on his side; all he has to do, after all, is shut his eyes, and any work of fiction becomes meaningless. Moreover, a reader has an advantage over a beginning writer in not being a beginning reader; before he takes up a story to read it, he can be presumed to have read everything from Shakespeare to Jack Kerouac. No matter whether he reads a story in manuscript as a great personal favor, or opens a magazine, or—kindest of all—goes into a bookstore and pays good money for a book, he is still an enemy to be defeated with any kind of dirty fighting that comes to the writer's mind.

I think most of what is being called body horror these days is actually body splatter. It's more external than internal and that can be fun but it's not the same thing.

My concept of body horror is really different from what is being sold as body horror these days. IMO, it is a sense of internal wrongness with oneself that reflects back on the world feeling strange as a result. The internal informs the eventual external depiction of disarticulation with the flesh

RESIDENT EVIL was perfect. I'm a complete sucker for shoving a guy who kinda sucks into a meat-grinder for an hour and a half, and this does that admirably. Felt like an RE sequel I wish I could play. Going to have it playing in the background constantly. I need to see it ten more times right now.
