Quietus
Dec02
I was panicking about starting a new chapter after the epic wrap-up I just finished.
But the brainstorm I had about how to do this one is too perfect. A real-life horror that is somehow worse than an Old One making an appearance. That’s the stuff I love to find while working on this, and it may have never occurred to me if I wasn’t doing the strip week to week!
Try saying “Let there be Light!” It can’t hurt.
The introvert’s dream: If Hell is “other people”, Heaven is oblivion or just having eternity to ourselves?
And yes, real world is usually worse than anything else we can imagine. At least that’s what I’ve discovered from the horror genre. Great Old Ones, Raging Deep Mothers, Cosmic Powers So Far Beyond Us That We Are As Bacterial Flora In Its Gut, all these help take our minds off the very Human monster currently sharing the breakfast table–or whom we see staring back from the mirror–whom we’re desperate to escape.
