moments in childhood from bruce campbell’s “if chins could kill: confessions of a b-movie actor”

okay more ninth house talk + spoilers but i love the narrative of the two gals with no sense of direction (dawes and alex) scrambling to solve a mystery once the only responsible party disappears (darlington). and the entire time them being like, “darlington would know,” “if only darlington were here.”

and also the fact that darlington is.. like.. the only actually good person, but in the end he’s a demon... and like.... what’s going to happen now????

thinking about the last werewolf/talulla rising saying things about “pain being alchemised into cruelty,” and “we’d exchange horror like weddings vows,” and “the first horror is that there is horror. the second is that you accommodate it.”

“WHAT AM I,” then? Since childhood, I’ve been involved with flows of milk, smells, stories, sounds, emotions, nursery rhymes, substances, gestures, ideas, impressions, gazes, songs, and foods. What am I? Tied in every way to places, sufferings, ancestors, friends, love, events, languages, memories, to all things that are not me. Everything that attaches me to the world, all the links that constitute me, all forces that compose me don’t form a singular identity, a thing displayed on cue, but a singular, shared, living existence.”

reading ninth house, rubbing my little hands together. apparently this book’s quality is divisive?? wouldn’t have guessed. this is a prose glow up for me.
