Very true. It was uncomfortable to write in places because it’s largely an attempt to portray real evil. And that is always uncomfortable for good people to do. And naturally evil knows this, and uses it to protect itself from good people. Because good people have a natural, instinctive aversion-reaction.
Don’t worry, though, I won’t be doing this sort of thing very often…
I know what you mean. Which of course is why evil spends so much effort trying to conceal itself in various ways. Rest assured, though, that all the evil people in the story shall, indeed, get their just desserts...
True evil. Another masterful entry! I've gotta say, Evelyn, I'm really getting into this shared universe you've created. It's complex and seedy, filled with some mind-melting ideas. It's impressive how much I'm getting through your prose alone, the way it colors the world and its characters. I've already said it but I've saved your directory post so I can start at the beginning.
Wow - thank you! And I am so glad you’re enjoying the shared universe/crossover element, as this is one of my peculiarities, and something I really wanted to work with.
That is cool about saving the directory, it probably is best to start at the beginning, although I am also mindful that people can jump in without getting spoilers, but rather intriguing teasers.
And thank you for your comments on my prose - this is even more gratifying coming from someone such as yourself who also writes brilliantly. Thank you!
Evil bastard.

It's good for this kind of thing to be exposed, but probably just as well you don't do it often because it stirs up my homicidal instincts...

This is one of my older ones which is all about eyes. I'd forgotten all about it until today and the eye see you thing. https://inadifferentplace.substack.com/p/fairytale-sunday-21042024?r=2s9hod
