@PrettyGnosticMachine It's bleak, unflinching, brutal. About a house haunted by the ghost of fascism- but also every bad thing that's happened within it- and how that poison seeps everywhere. But it's also about being human, and about being despised [by some], simply for existing, that a part of you despises yourself. All of this still fails to describe. My review may just be stream-of-consciousness thoughts about it, because words fail.

@stina_marie “But it's also about being human, and about being despised [by some], simply for existing, that a part of you despises yourself.”

Me and that sentiment/leitmotif go waaaaay back in a long and complicated history, to put it mildly. Sometimes I actually succeed in taming it, sometimes it overwhelms me, and threatens to send me plunging into an abyss of misanthropy and self-doubt. I’m a cursed combination of hyperaware and hypersensitive, and that takes its toll.
