The cellar was silvered with webs. Every corner, and every shelf, dusted with them. And when she’d asked her grandmother why, she’d said, “Spider webs catch bad dreams, Christina. If you see one, leave it be, or you’ll let all the nightmares free.”

I heard that Longlegs (2024) was like a cross between Silence of the Lambs and Hereditary so I got excited…but while it’s a weirdly decent supernatural horror it’s actually not scary and not really much like either of those movies…worth a watch though

Drab, rainy day, but at least I visited a secondhand bookshop. Only a few contemporary poetry books to rummage through - I got this one mainly because I liked the title which is also in a haiku of mine

Just finished watching The Well (2023) and was disappointed- I know it’s Italian horror so expect gore but this movie was too gruesome and all the screaming was way too much. Shame because it had potential and I actually liked the lore about the painting

Racism is never “banter” every racist comment I’ve ever received (in school and out of it) is permanently lodged in my head and has had significant repercussions on my sense of self.
