Is Jurassic Park worth reading? Like many, the movie is an all-timer for me and I’ve heard the novel is much more intense but I can’t help by assume it reads like a generic thriller. Thoughts?

Revisited TCM through the lens of folk/cosmic horror and, yeah, I’m convinced.
The sun has a constant, menacing presence. Zodiac discussions and their celestial influence. Symbols and structures beyond comprehension. Horrific violence experienced in states of utter disbelief.
Thinking about TCM:
The radio report on a new plague, increasing suicides, solar flares.
A hook or puncture-wound painted on the van.
The act of processing flesh as ritual, the product as mere decoration or means for more processing.
Gallows-as-doorway, a gateway to The West.

Random horror thoughts:
SESSION 9 (2001) is one of my favorite hidden gems within the genre. Scared me to death when I was 12, and still scares me today. In some ways, maybe even more so. If this one slipped by you, I implore you to give it a try.

In LONGLEGS, whenever Agent Harker experiences a breakthrough in the case, the devil can be seen in the background. This alludes to earlier in the film when Harker likens her psychic abilities to someone tapping her on the shoulder, telling her where to look.

It definitely goes beyond undercooked McCarthy takes. Like you said, it’s a failure to comprehend art at large. People want everything spoon-fed to them, cut and dry. Art should be complex. It’s narrow-minded and honestly childish to think otherwise, or even want it otherwise.

First read of October: COME CLOSER by Sara Gran. Realistic, haunting, and heartbreaking. It unraveled the way I’d hoped it would, which is the biggest compliment I have. Gran writes with unyielding confidence and courage. A transcendent piece of horror literature.
