This was such a great read, though I must say I felt a bit called out by your list at the beginning lol (every one of those items describes me—even the affinity for iced coffee, unfortunately). I've often thought about why it is we like horror so much, and your write-up is easily the best explanation I've seen since this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RUGj5cLOW0s
I didn't know you are a big Stephen King fan. Me too! I don't think we ever discussed his work, but he has been a huge influence on my appreciation of horror. I haven't read "The Boogeyman," but it sounds quite chilling. We'll have to catch up sometime on his work. It would be interesting to see if he's done much with queer characters. It's hard to recall many--maybe the primary villain in Dr. Sleep but who else?
Skylar!!! Thank you so much for the shout-out <3
