i got shirley jackson’s dark tales for christmas and ough short horror stories my beloved
#honestly just one of my favorite forms of horror- if not favorite form of media- of all time
#jackson didnt do it but im so glad ''monkeys paw'' is a common saying/meme bc ive read the original story and i LOVE it
#its so fucked up
#im literally only one story in dark tales (''the possibility of evil'') and it was so good. idk if id call it horror but goddamn
#like i know ppl like miss strangeworth irl and yeah thats what theyre like oh my god shes so hatable and i love it
#i love how its subtle but u can tell shes a bitch because of how she talks to people even before the reveal
#like how she notices that mr lewis looks anxious and miserable and still makes a snarky comment about him forgetting
#to remind her of her weekly tea. when hes literally a grocery store worker. (one she knows personally but like still)
#and then on TOP of that its revealed that SHES the reason he and everyone else is miserable??? and she knows this???
#and shes like ''oh its a wonderful thing that i write letters insulting people and spreading rumors bc its my job
#to make sure evil doesnt prevail!'' but in trying to prevent conflict she just causes it
#and she literally KNOWS its fucked up bc she never credits the letters and tries to deliver them when no one can see
#and talks abt how disgusting and awful itd be if ppl learned it was her
#and its her own pride that fucks her over bc she looks at kids w disdain and ignores them while still acting ''nice''
#that she doesnt notice when one of them calls after her and says she dropped her things
#and the final line is just so GOOD
#mmgmgmgmgmmggm i love short stories short stories my beloved
#they do something good to my brain i like it
