I want to preface this by saying that I don't live in the US, and am not under constant threat of gun violence. My partner does and is, and I am constantly scared for her, but I understand that a US reader will be coming to this with a context that I don't have, and I'm trying to be aware of that. What would you do if you knew that your actions truly had no consequences? If you knew that, no matter what you did, you would wake up tomorrow and everything would be back to normal? Carson Winter's The Guts of Myth (part of Split Scream Volume 1 , reviewed here) was a blend of gravel-crunching pulp and shimmering obsidian cosmic horror, a darkly majestic, savagely cool novelette. And while his name was the first thing to grab my attention with this novella, the concept cemented this as something I needed to read. Here it is: two office drones find that certain days are less 'real' than others. On these 'low tide' days, the abnormal is slightly more normal,
Discussion of horror and whatever else takes my fancy.
