ok so i do really like carl BUT CAN A GUY STOP ACTING SO SUSPICIOUS

“to me a myth is like a menu in a fancy french restaurant. it’s glamorous, complicated camouflage for a fact you wouldn’t otherwise swallow.” THIS IS ACTUALLY SUCH A COOL QUOTE

“tucked in a corner like a poor relation” is such an insane sentence

oh, fuck freud

LOL HIS DICK GOT SQUASHED

hypnotism is so fucking funny? like i know i’m supposed to find this scary, but it’s HILARIOUS.

also i don’t understand why the author had to make a literal child do some of that shit. disgusting. i get it’s for shock value, but fucking hell. maybe we don’t cross those lines. i almost stopped reading.

Je lâche pas. Je sais pas pourquoi je suis surpris: il se passe exactement la même chose que dans le film, juste 4 fois plus long.

help me

im questioning the more passive themes. i don't think blatty is trying to fearmonger sex, but i see where he uses it to advance the horror aspect by writing abt satanic, sometimes gay orgies with animals or christian icnonography. regan's demon is also extremely predatory towards her and the before (innocent, "angelic")vs after (lustful, rotting, "the devil") is really apparent. rlly unsettling either way
