God be in my head, and in my understanding; God be in mine eyes, and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at mine end, and at my departing.
Sarum Primer
You think you know yourself inside out when you live alone, but you don't, you believe you are a calm untroubled or at worst melancholic person, you do not realise how irritable you are, how any little thing, the wrong kind of touch or tone, a lack of speed in answering a question, a particular cast of expression will send you into apoplexy because you are unchill, because you have not learnt how to soften your borders, how to make room. You're selfish and rigid and absorbed, you're like an infant.
—Olivia Laing, Crudo

POST UPDATE
the links on this post appear to have fried; i originally copied them directly from the miskatonic institute course page here (x) but i’ve haphazardly compiled them:
- the american nightmare: horror in the 70s, robin wood - horror and the monstrous-feminine: an imaginary abjection, barbara creed - when the woman looks, linda williams - her body, himself: gender in the slasher film, carol j. clover - bodies of fear: the films of david cronenberg, steven shaviro (the link is to shaviro’s full text the cinematic body, this essay in particular is pg. 127) - noël carroll’s philosophy of horror right here on libgen - cynthia freeland’s horror and art-dread was published within a collection of essays; the entire text can also be found and downloaded easily on libgen with freeland’s essay on pg. 189
POST UPDATED AGAIN :)
some links have broken; the others in the previous update still work:
- when the woman looks, linda williams (link is to barry keith grant’s the dread of difference: gender and the horror film, this essay is pg. 17) - her body, himself: gender in the slasher film, carol j. clover - philosophy of horror, noël carroll (this is a pdf download link and will download directly upon clicking) - cynthia freeland’s horror and art-dread as aforementioned was published within stephen prince’s the horror film; you can get a pdf of the collection through anna’s archive
