First I’d like to say most importantly I hope everything is okay and went well with your MRI. Thank for you sharing as that has to be scary and I’m sorry, I’ve been in outside sales for over 15 yrs and used to get severe panic attacks in my mid to late 20’s from stress until I learned how to cope and mostly overcome it with experience and not drinking. Hopefully it is just a symptom of work stress for you and you can actively keep seeing what’s out there while still doing the best you can at your current job. Being miserable at your work can be a lonely experience and I empathize.
Thank you for the well wishes and for sharing your experiences! It's helpful to know other people have been through similar situations and I'm glad to hear you've overcome some of that earlier anxiety.
To respond to your other comment, The Ninth Configuration is directed by him! I believe it's based on another book of his. Blatty only directed The Exorcist III and The Ninth Configuration and I think that's a shame because they are both great movies.
Exorcist 3 is so good and this might be hyperbolic but maybe the best jump scare of all time? It’s gotta be up there. I need to see The Ninth Configuration.
Awesome read. Thanks for reviewing El Paramo I always love hearing about horror movies I've never heard of before. I hope everything is okay with your health, I'm so sorry that benefits have kept you trapped at full time work. If it's any consolation, it hasn't damaged your writing. Hope to read more Creatures of War soon, but I'm also totally happy to wait.

Thank you! I really appreciate it 💜
And you make a strong case for this film. I’d never heard of it. The Ninth Configuration is directed by William Peter Blatty right?
