“A horror novel should reveal to you that you are falling apart. That there are ways your imagination can be made different. Can threaten what you think is. You should be holding onto that tree or rock screaming. Or laughing. Not at absurdity, either: absurdism is just a bourgeois and reactionary nostalgia for good, stable meaning.” ThinkingWayShouldMadeDifferentFallImaginationNovelLaughingTreeRocksHorrorNostalgiaStableAbsurdityFalling ApartHolding OnBourgeoisReactionaries Author:Tony Burgess
“I think horror should have occult elements, not as its subject but as its ambition. It is a machine that destroys illusion. I, of course, never achieve this, but I always act as if I can.” IfsThinkingShouldI CanCoursesAchieveSubjectsHorrorElementsAmbitionIllusionShould HaveMachinesOccult Author:Tony Burgess
