Friends, Romans ... Countrymen ... I know!
KENNETH WILLIAMS as Julius Caesar in CARRY ON CLEO (dir. Gerald Thomas, UK 1964)
So last month I read “You Should Have Been Nicer To My Mom” by Vincent Tirado.
It’s a modern gothic horror that centre’s around the affluent Abreus family after the death of the patriarch of the family. At the will reading there’s just a note that says hey one of you is a demon, you have 12 hours to figure it out or you all die.
Great story absolutely love it and if you plan on reading it be warned there will be spoilers ahead though I won’t spoil the ending.
But I was sat here trying to figure out why it felt so familiar to me…and I realised it’s because it gives me a similar vibe to An Inspector Calls by JB Priestly.
Now if you did not have the pleasure of analysing the shit out of this thing in English Literature let me give you the run down. It’s a play centred around the rich and powerful Birling Family in England, 1912.
Where on one fateful night they are visited by the mysterious Inspector Goole who accuses them of being responsible for the death of a young woman named Eva Smith.
Now on paper these two stories couldn’t be anymore different however they’re are very similar with their themes. Both of them have rich and powerful families who think they could do no wrong getting exposed for scandal after scandal throughout the night.
And if the title doesn’t give it away both of these stories involve women being killed by this family who have kept it all hush hush to maintain their reputations.
Reputations that are falling apart by the hour and pitting them all against each other.
In Inspector Calls there’s a lot of doubt as to whether or not Inspector Goole over here is actually real (side note: Asagiri put this man in your story plz.)
Whereas in You Should Have Been Nicer To My Mom there’s a lot of questioning as to if demons are real, if one of them is one and if the will is real or not.
Now obviously both are very different stories to each other but the similarities are interesting and I throughly loved both.
