Guillermo del Toro���s Frankenstein: Beautiful, Tragic, but Missing Horror
I watched Guillermo del Toro���s Frankenstein last night, and as both a long���time admirer of del Toro���s work and a devoted fan of Mary Shelley���s novel, I went in with high expectations.
The film is visually stunning: every frame feels meticulously crafted, with gothic architecture, sumptuous interiors, and atmospheric landscapes that echo the novel���s mood. The performances are equally

| This is a short, creepy horror story that fills you with an increasing sense of dread. Michael flies home to Ireland when asked to attend the reading of the will of his old piano teacher. But what he finds is no ordinary wake. A rare snowfall covers ...more | |
"Jones is an amazing writer of farm life in all the exciting, tender, gory ways - never read better prose about this topic. For this reason, Cow was the standout story of the collection for me and not the titular Pulse. But be warned that all stories "

"Short stories; rural goings on; gory and spare. Cynan Jones is a writer I now adore. This book was a complete surprise (this is why you need to shop in bookshops, people)."

“The thing was, she wasn't afraid of ghosts. The violence of humankind and nature, the ridiculous enormity of outer space, the fragile skin of existence, the unfathomable mystery of the origins of life and thought - all these things could petrify her, if she allowed them. But ghosts? No.”

“Nothing is more lethal to the effect that a ghost story should make than for the author to provide alternative materialist solution. This reduces a poem to a puzzle and confines the reader’s spirit instead of enlarging it.”

“I think reality is thin, you know, thin as lake ice after a thaw, and we fill our lives with noise and light and motion to hide that thinness from ourselves.”

“Whenever I've made a choice in my life, a real choice... I can always feel the change, after I choose. The better versions of myself, moving just out of reach.”

“That which is torn develops an increased capacity for insight and forbearance. A capacity to experience sensations that escape the notice of others.”

“Blake would say that there are some places in the Universe where the Fall has not occurred, the world has not turned upside down and Eden still exists. Here Mankind is not governed by the rules of reason, stupid and strict, but by the heart and intuition. The people do not indulge in idle chatter, parading what they know, but create remarkable things by applying their imagination. The state ceases to impose the shackles of daily oppression, but helps people to realize their hopes and dreams. And Man is not just a cog in the system, not just playing a role, but a free Creature.”
