what i find absolutely incredible about flowers in the attic is how thematically tight it is. like, the incest isn't in there for shock value, it's literally the founding myth of the family: malcolm is possessive of corinne to the point of it being clear that there's something sexual about it, even before you know the full backstory and olivia's religious obsession is arguably a reaction to her husband's attraction to their daughter. you have corinne and chris senior's original sin, obviously. even when chris and cathy are children, it's clear the boundaries with their parents are somewhat muddled and their mutual attraction, at least on chris' part, is influenced by his own unresolved oedipical attraction towards corinne. cathy immediately makes their father a martyr and hates corinne in a textbook helektra complex. part of the tragedy of it is that they would have probably never developed an incestuous relationship if they hadn't been forced to step in as parents to their younger siblings. the narrative closes in on them inexorably and it's all there, from the very first pages!!!

Where did that go?

the horror zine quite literally NAMED “the horror zine” having such stringent restrictions on submission content is stupid as fuck. What do you mean I can’t submit horror with political or religious themes? Are we playing pretend where the entire structural foundation of horror as a genre is just a lie?
