"We have had such a close bond." @stepforddaughter.bsky.social breaks down Brian De Palma's freaky twin thriller SISTERS minute-by-minute for @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social's book series. Releases today. www.bloomsbury.com/us/sisters-9...

The cover of the book "Sisters: Minute by Minute" featuring a watercolor-like drawing of a main character from the film, a woman with dark hair, looking concerned. Below is an inset picture of different woman sitting with a large Raggedy Ann doll.

Hey everyone- in my initial essay on Brian De Palma, I covered CARRIE in there to a degree. But I’ve been watching CARRIE a lot lately so I decided over the last few weeks to go deeper, so I did: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/first-blood-...

The Horror of Meat

Americans don’t like to think about the gruesome reality of meat production. But in horror fiction, the suppressed truth returns in strange ways.
