New Horror 2023 – Day 15

“The family curse that condemned them to be eternal renters.”

“Señor Ligotti” by Bernardo Esquinca (2020)

Real estate horror is some prime and extremely relevant storytelling (also see Dream Home). This one hits in a certain way that ya gotta have the experience to understand.

“Ahhh! Why did you tell me that?”

“The Fisherman” by Franco, Tressina Bowling, Wes Abbott, Sara Richard (2022)

Oh man, this is fun but too short! I need a part 2.

“You can buy these, but it’s on your head.”

Piggy dir. Carlota Pereda (2022)

I loved this. It’s unsettling and choices are made that leave you questioning just where the story’s going to go, and it’s always nice to find something that twists and turns that way. Beyond that, it just lands for anyone who was glad to get the fuck away from childhood horrors.
