YES! ๐Ÿคฉ

In a #DarkFantasy #HorrorAnthology, Rose Bitterly's "The Meteor" has an inescapable #SciFi #Horror vibe which made it stand out. โ˜„๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

For 3 days, I thought about the movie ๐Ÿฟ "Annihilation" (2018) and this story.

It's all about the atmosphere, this one! ๐Ÿ’—

Etaski and I write Dark Epic Fantasy, Erot!c Horror, and Erot!c Fantasy.

The Dark is the opportunity to face terrifying truths about oneself and about the world. To make it through the terror, and the inevitable change which follows, creates a new facet of the person we've always been. The truly fascinating part for me is whether we can face the discomfort of that change and learn to embrace it or choose to lie to ourselves instead. --A.S. EtaskiCatch me in "Fallen" Coming September 26th!

This evening's viewing: 1945 British flick Dead of Night, largely held to be the grandaddy of the "portmanteau" style of anthology #horror that Hammer and Amicus would use often in the 60s and 70s (also boasts an early "is the ventriloquist mad or the dummy alive?" story)

Unusual for the time, also unusual in being an Ealing production, better known for their comedies.
