Currently I am watching the documentary on Freevee about Scary Stories to tell in the dark and other scary stories for children. As an horror and surreal artist who uses my work to tell true stories of real life and all it's dirt....this book WAS my childhood. I couldn't watch scary movies, they were too much for me, but these books, god they got my little mind thinking. I genuinely think that all the horror stories I read helped me cope with the true tragedy commonly found in a rural family full of neglect and abuse throughout the early 2000's
Its heart breaking to see that there are truly people who think themselves as holier than thou and feel the need to censor what all children read rather than to just censor what their own will. It hurts to see how much of a platform these narrow minded fools have.
It's something that has never ended and will never end, and it's frustrating. I live in America, supposedly a land of the free with freedom of speech, yet those with loud mouths and dark hearts and narrow minds who have forgotten their own childhood, their own books and fears try to take that away.
What does THAT, teach children? If you are just loud enough, you'll get what you want? How does that transfer through life? A man screaming and annoying a woman enough until she gives in? To do what you must to get your need?
Narrow minded fools need to understand what some of these books are. Our history. They don't need to be hidden away, they need to be told as a way not to be. They are artifacts of our past and should be shown as such, so we learn about our own history and what thoughts and ideas are beyond outdated.
If we forget our past....we are doomed to repeat it.
