I love him, he makes me laugh lol
Well I'll need to read this book a few times. I want to know if it's actually scary, or if it was just scary to kid me. And it's funny, I remember all the sexual content, but the part that sticks with me is the end, that scared the shit out of me.
A secondary question is whether the writing is any good; does it elevate the horror? It was published in 1989 or something, so I'm curious as to whether it is a tropey demon possession or if the sexual content and the body horror push it beyond a 80s trope-fest.
I also just want a video of it out there. I don't want a big channel with numerous videos, I just want an analysis on it in case someone else reads it and wants to discuss it. I can't say when it will be done, I've never done anything like this before. But the first part is reading it again and taking notes.
I also have an idea of when I'm done with it, I'll sneakily return it to dads bookshelf and then ask for it again ๐
