never look at a movie the same way again!

If you feel like reading something utterly creeptastic, may I suggest "each thing I show you is a piece of my death" by Gemma Files and Stephen J. Barringer?  It's in several anthologies, including Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year Vol. 2 and Clockwork Phoenix Vol. 2 - the latter of which has graciously shared it in pdf form online.  This is one of the few pieces of horror fiction I've read that has actually caused a physical stress reaction in me.  Very much along the same lines as Kairo (Pulse) - like Jonathan McCalmont pointed out in SF Signal, this is essentially the best kind of J-Horror in fiction form.  Which of course sends me screaming for the hills. 

I really dig this whole docu-fiction thing that Gemma Files does.

I thought it was totally awesome as well, and it genuinely SCARED me, which is rare for me, for fiction. I sent it to my sister and brother-in-law, who run a media company, because they could totally be the protags in the story.

Gemma Files's fiction is great. Do you know she has a livejournal? ()
