Fear in a Bottle in Rue Morgue Mag
categories: horror, scents & sensibility
“Horror assaults our senses with relentless precision – the crescendo of a nerve-shredding score, the stomach-dropping revelation in a match-cut, the visceral impact of practical effects. Yet there’s one sensory dimension that remains frustratingly out of reach: the olfactory landscape of fear. We can see the expressionist shadows of Nosferatu, hear Tomie’s seductive whispers, feel the controlled violence vibrating beneath American Psycho’s polished surface – but we can only imagine their distinct bouquets of ancient evil, obsessive beauty, and expensive madness.”
Thus begins the recent article I wrote for Rue Morgue Magazine’s March/April issue, which will be on stands in just a few days! I hope you’ll check it out!
