OUTCAST’s Reviews > 20th Century Ghosts > Status Update

Okay, Abraham’s Boys was kinda metal. I like the Dracula parallels.
GET HIS ASS MAX‼️‼️‼️
Also “Her intestines fell out. Slop.”, made my stomach curdle.

Boy turns into bug and does bug school shooting. Somehow I was still pretty bored.

Anyway Pop Art has me almost in tears. That was beautiful what the fuck.
Joe Hill, where the HELL did you pull that out from????
“What happened? Did he run out of air?”
“Ran out of sky”
SOBBING????

Done with 20th Century Ghost. I liked this one much more than Best New Horror, although idk. I love the idea of Imogene, but I dislike the…forced romance aspect? The “her legs lewdly hung open.” This is a 19 year old girl….Joe Hill’s writing does this a lot, disappointingly.
Anyway go to your local theaters 👍👍👍

I just finished Best New Horror. Given that Eddie hammered on the fact that he’s bored with cliches, this short story really FELT like a cliche.
Like yeah duh, he’s gonna get murdered at the house of the freaky writer. Of COURSE the freaky writer is a Nazi. Of COURSE we had to mention rape a few times.
