Sweet meats!! Oh man, absolute horror! Great story, Dan. Could 100% see it in my mind and I wanted to run away from the horror of the visuals 😬😆! There's something especially creepy about slugs/leeches and they squidgy and slow form.
Yeah, I wanted to just go for it and write a little slice of gruesome horror as hadn’t done it for a while. Sweet meats is still my favourite line 😁
Junji Ito was a new name to me and his work looks fascinating. The first thing I thought when I looked at some of the illustrations was how much it resembled Clive Barker’s drawings with that combination of beauty and horror. Really interesting
Sorry to hear that Nathan. I know it’s easy to say, but just try not to worry about it. Get all the work stuff sorted out and then, when you’re ready, get back to the writing. Better that than trying to force it and cause yourself more stress and not be happy with your writing. Whatever you write is always incredible and I can’t wait to read it, but only once you’re ready 👍🏼
I was horrified and then I giggled a bit even as I grew more horrified.
Thanks very much Jean Marie. That was the plan 🙏😁
I'm so happy I found you here, Daniel. This made me laugh!
Thanks very much Rea 🙏
Yeah, I think there is a lot of similarities between comedy and horror, so I’m glad you enjoyed this one 😁
Horror sci-fi movies are made of this… I enjoyed it!
Thanks very much Rostislava. I had a lot of fun writing it 🙏😁

I could see this being sketched out by Junji Ito!
Thanks very much Nathan 🙏

Hope everything is going well with you 👍🏼
And PS yeah all ok thanks Dan. I'm just in a weird rut at the moment. Too much work and things going on and struggling to find creativity. 😞

Thanks Dan, means a lot. 🤗
Definitely check out some Junji manga. Huge, huge recommendation for Uzumaki (the first few stories there are incredible) and the one this: https://imgur.com/gallery/comic-dump-junji-ito-enigma-of-amigara-fault-AjfDC&ved=2ahUKEwjD08iIz_qMAxXNhlYBHQcsNiYQFnoECAoQAQ&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw3X4xMlgCEgdBLRJEvRuASv
I can't remember which collection that one is in, but it's peak Junji!
His stories sometimes lack a strong narrative, but the actual horror elements and illustrations are superb.
Yikes. Sweet meats 😭 Killing me.
Yeah, I winced when I wrote that line 😁
Thanks Hanna 🙏
Ouch. That's going to be horrible when it gets to the sweet meats. Not the sweet meats! Great story, Daniel.
Thanks very much Parker 😁🙏
Oh my! No, no, no!
Sorry Jessica 😁
