When Love Turns Monstrous
They rhyme on the horror of the people closest to you: a mother, a son, a girlfriend's family, a partner who has drifted away, or a wish to be loved that comes true.
The heart of modern elevated horror: much-discussed favourites that are also emotionally punishing, so watch them when you can take grief and dread rather than jump scares, and maybe not all in one night.
