Big congrats on being healthy and your promotion!! That’s great to hear.
This is one of/if not the best piece you’ve written so far. “As much as you nail it down but can’t crucify it”…Respect on that line alone.
I’m also not religious although I grew up in church til I was 18 and I totally get those Christian conservative Sunday shut down quirks. Here in KY though it’s more ChickfilA and Hobby Lobby. I live in small city of over 100,000 but I still think you cant buy alcohol in stores here on Sundays. Most of the “dry” counties though are a thing of the past.
Going to check out Ninth asap. Sounds awesome. And that line to the astronaut from Reagan always creeped me out so bad. To be having fun at a party and have a possessed pre teen tell you some skin crawling shit like that would be terrifying. I mean not only would I not go to space after that I wouldn’t go to Target. Thanks for writing!
Thank you for the compliment, and thank you for reading!! It's interesting to hear about the lingering dry county thing, it's not something I think about because I live on the west coast. Ironically, the businesses that are usually open on Sundays here are bars. Oh and I'm definitely with you on the astronaut scene, I'd be terrified if that happened to me!
Great article! Thanks so much for reviewing the Ninth Configuration, I can't believe I've never heard of it before!
Thanks also for your kind words about the Exorcist II: The Heretic. I have so many strange memories of that film, like a lamp that enables people to synchronize consciousnesses or something.
Happy to hear you're healthy and glad you've been sideways-promoted away from cussing clientele.
Thank you so much!! The weird hypnosis lamp is in fact a major plot point in Exorcist 2, for better or for worse. It's a strange movie that doesn't really make sense, but it all kinda works for me.
