I love darkly comedic horror and gothic horror stories. They reach deep into our psyches and extract what we fear most.
“When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” (Ben Franklin)
This sentiment resonates deeply within the realms of
darkly comedic and gothic horror,
where evolution and transformation are key to the story.
What one experiences is a representation of reality, which can't be truly accessed, yet still influences our world. (Plato)
Gothic or darkly comedic horror stories often reflect deeper truths about human nature and the sheer will to survive.
The Greek gods feared humans, leading them to split humanity into halves and fill the world with chaos.
Each of us is born with only half the capacity to love until we find our missing self.
When twin souls unite, harmony is restored, and the world may finally find peace. (Plato)
This theme echoes in gothic and darkly comedic horror stories, where the search for wholeness often drives the narrative.
