Opportunity Kid

It’s always “this wasn’t scary at all!” followed by “this book is evil for Content reasons”

Yeah, that churning in your stomach? The ethical rejection? The wild discomfort? The sharp desire for them to be parted….. that’s you being horrified.

There are other types of horror than spooky jumpscare.

It’s not called Hollis Brown and the friendly ghost, or Hollis Brown fights a possession and wins.

It’s called The CORRUPTION of Hollis Brown. And it’s about him viscerally changing the ghost in his body.

Also, I made the cover artist have the cover have two people in distorted hellfires reaching out to each other for salvation????

I might understand if the cover showed them embracing happily or whatever but there’s nothing about the way this was marketed that should have tricked anyone at all.

Why did they think this was going to be anything but horrifying?

What did they think a book that was titled like that was going to be about?

“The author is trying to convince us that this is good.”

Every media ever isn’t an artist trying to tell you that what you’re seeing is good and something you should replicate. Or trying to argue in favor of the actions of the characters.

Hollis Brown is unhinged and Walt is a criminal and a monster. This book doesn’t really have a hero and a villain, it’s mostly about creatures, desires and impulses!

Wishing they separated at the end is a part of the horror element!

They consumed each other completely!
