This Young Monster
- olya bakhurhas quoted2 years ago
he saw sky where the land should be, heard rough beasts howling in his skull and, as his little jackrabbit heart thumped from terror, felt the wind shaking his bones into jelly. - olya bakhurhas quoted2 years agoLurid rumours claim that the boys’ deformity is inevitable owing to the circumstances of their conception since a ‘German collector of birds’ or ‘a taxidermist’ raped their mother, as if that crime could shape what emerged from the womb. Unspeakable acts can produce equally unnatural gifts.
Зловещие слухи утверждают, что уродство мальчиков неизбежно из-за обстоятельств их зачатия, поскольку "немецкий коллекционер птиц" или "таксидермист" изнасиловал их мать, как будто это преступление могло повлиять на то, что появилось из утробы. Невыразимые поступки могут порождать столь же неестественные дары.

- olya bakhurhas quoted2 years agoHe was machismo off the leash
- olya bakhurhas quoted2 years agoMonsters cause trouble, they disturb definitions, they discombobulate what we think we mean.
- olya bakhurhas quoted2 years agoTransformation, which is the monster’s whole game, simultaneously altering their bodies and changing the surrounding culture like radioactive fall-out, is a mode of catharsis, along with a strategy for abjuring a body that feels way too vulnerable or out of control.
- olya bakhurhas quoted2 years agoThe kids in the video for Aphex Twin’s ‘Come to Daddy’ (1997) (directed by Chris Cunningham) have a wonderful time, terrorizing the same London estate that Alexander de Large roams in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange
- olya bakhurhas quoted2 years agoA monster is a fear assuming a form.
