Frank, how do I read horror without then experiencing the horrors? I am trying so hard but my constitution is so delicate and I'm going to be haunted by demons all night now.
Have you tried appreciating the demons rather than fearing them? Like, the demons are scary, but so what? Sometimes they are scary in the way a great movie is scary, or the way an exciting roller coaster ride is scary, or the way climbing a mountain for the first time and looking down to see how far you have come is scary.
Or the demons can be seen as lessons, though you can draw this comparison in many different ways. There are things about yourself that make you happy and things about yourself that make you unhappy. You want to feel more of the happy things and less of the unhappy things in life. So some things may make you happy, but if you are doing something that is making you unhappy and the demons are showing you this, it may be a good thing that you are learning about the unhappy thing.
