How Much Do We Really Need What We Call Our "Needful Things"?
In my review I wrote for Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story I mentioned my disappointment at the execution of the novel, even though it’s a beautifully written book. After reading it I wasn’t convinced to stop reading his work by any means. Something I’ve noticed in the last couple of years is that I’ve come to really love King's work spanning from the late 80's to about the mid 90's. I’m not sure why this is. It could be that I was born in 1992 and maybe it’s a subconscious thing, although even I can’t put all of my eggs into that basket. Honestly, there’s just something to those stories that really speak to me even though I can’t quite put my finger on it. But I digress. When I picked up Needful Things, I was yet again impressed and relieved since this is a novel of King’s I had been wanting to read for many years.

The Repercussions of Telling Big Little Lies. Content Warning.
While I am an avid consumer of horror stories and films as my most recent publications have indicated, I also enjoy stories that aren’t considered horror, but that might have a darker edge or underlying weight to them that could be considered to be real world horror. An author I’ve only begun to read over the last two years or so is Liane Moriarty, who has become a known name in the last few years. I’ve read only four so far, they each have packed a punch not unlike the powerful prose of Jodi Picoult, while still having her own unique voice that’s really unforgettable. Where I started with her body of work is where I think many have started due to its popularity as well as the subsequent limited series with HBO. This book is Big Little Lies. Before reading this novel I had heard a great deal of buzz about it. Friends were telling me to watch the limited series. Reviews for the novel as well as the limited series were showing up online left and right. When I did finally read this book, I wasn’t prepared for what I ultimately read.

Lisey's Disappointing Story
I’ve made it clear in previous reviews that I’m a big fan of Stephen King. I’ve read most of his body of work, seen the film and TV adaptations, and I even have a half sleeve tattooed on my right arm as a tribute to him and his work. This is why for me, it’s a bummer that I didn’t enjoy Lisey’s Story as much as I really wanted to upon my reading of the book.

A Frightening Look Inside "The Store". Content Warning.
There are many horror writers that have tingled the spines of so many readers. The biggest name among them, is Stephen King, and justifiably so. His work has been the ultimate escape for me as a reader and inspiration in regards to my own goals as a fiction writer. However, with all of this being said, there is a name that has in a short amount of time become another inspirational outlet. His name is Bentley Little, and he makes King’s feel like something out of Disney when it comes to disturbing the reader. King would likely agree, since he himself has dubbed Little “the horror poet laureate.” Now let’s talk about why.

The Raw, Brutal Power Of Martyrs. Content Warning.
Horror takes many forms. There’s creature feature horror. There’s psychological horror. There’s body horror. With a genre of story telling where there are little to no rules, anything can be done. Anything can be said. And anyone can push the limits of what is too much just to the very edge. The French film Martyrs from 2008 depicts in its own way all of these subgenres but in a way that puts it in a genre all its own, and comes just close to going too far. Although some see it as going well past our perceived limits of disturbing content.

Extreme Horror At Its Finest. Content Warning.
Horror stories have been something I’ve loved for a long time. From the time I was roughly around the age of nine, I’ve felt the need to push myself in the horror stories I’ve consumed. It started with films like Jaws, Jurassic Park, The Exorcist, Halloween, along with many, many other films as the years have gone by. There have also been the many authors of horror fiction that have captured my interest in a vice grip and have yet to let go. You have Richard Matheson, Josh Malerman, Bentley Little, and of course, the master of the macabre, Stephen King. While these authors have left me with a good share of sleepless nights, no book has left me emotionally destroyed and creatively inspired as a writer myself in equal measure like Survivor by the late J.F. Gonzalez.

The Sins of Johnny Depp's Mother
The first thing I want to say is I don’t know anyone involved in this case. Everything I state below are my own opinions based on the evidence that is available and from my own personal experiences with intimate partner violence.

The Hit in the Face Seen Around the World
I know I’ve said I wouldn’t be doing a lot of these gossip type of pieces moving forward. However, this is something I have to say something about. I obviously don’t know anyone involved in this situation so everything I have to say is simply my opinion so take from this what you want.

Only Her
This isn’t where I thought I would ever take my brand when I first started. Never did I think I would bring in just one person, let alone have a threesome on camera. But here we are, waiting for our third party to come in and bring more eyes to what is now our site.

Only Us
Nothing much has changed from the last wild video we did with Jade. We’ve done a series of videos with her which have brought more than enough eyes and new subscribers to pay our bills and have money left over for the next several months. It’s an immense relief, yet I don’t feel whole. I don’t know why, but I don’t feel happy or even content. Why is this happening?

Only You
Only you have convinced me to shake things up with creating content. Before you, I’ve only felt safe to make content with me, myself, and I. This isn’t just as a means of safety but as a means of just having the control over everything I create for my brand. Any time another person is brought in everything changes. The profits have to be split, there has to be shared credit, everything just gets shaken up in a way I don’t always like but know I have to accept if I want to reach more subscribers.

Only Me: Creating Content
Even though the money was coming in on a consistent basis it didn’t mean I was rid of the fears and concerns over my living situation. Whether it was for my rent, for my food, or having the equipment I needed to work, I was always worried about getting by and what would happen if I didn’t have everything I needed. For these fears I was in this line of work, despite always saying it was something I would never do.
