Nightmare Fuel / Subnormality

• "A Christmas Eve in the Future." Read it. Then read the alt text. Then weep and hold yourself for hours. It's enough of a story that there's gotta be at least a handful of Tear Jerker moments, and her line after he finishes his story could be seen as a Heartwarming Moment. It's an emotional roller coaster, really.
  Bruno: ...Banicek's theory was that the drilling had released something terrible - call it the restless spirits of the billions of creatures dropped in one go by Mission W. Maybe killing an entire world in one go was just beyond nature, just beyond anything the universe was structured for, and down there in the reservoirs there was an entire planet's worth of... of fuckin' ghosts, or displaced consciousness, or electrical disurbances or call it what you will. I'm not a believer in any supernatural hit, to be honest, but minimum there was something besides oil that came out when the drills got down there and it didn't mix with the human mind and it's fuckin' little creations. Something that was pure anger - anger that all that life and natural history was converted into fuckin' petroleum. Its home gone.
• The dark secret of the Franklin Mint. Read here.
• Princess Washburn's appearance. (shudder) ...the eyes...
• And this. Basically, an unfulfilled algebra teacher takes LSD into his eyes and goes on a really bad trip.
• I Can Hear You could be described as The Mist meets A Quiet Place, from the point of view of two people hiding in their house from a mysterious entity that's consuming eastern Canada and the northeastern US.
