I also love the name Severin. Aside from the obvious Siouxsie reference, there's a character of the same name (well, codename, actually) in my Katrina serial, who people will get to meet in the New Year hopefully.
I don't know of course what your uncle Severin would've thought about himself being eaten by foxes trapped in his apartment with nothing else to eat. It's a tricky question. I don't think you're a bad person for thinking it, though.
I agree with you and those statistics about having someone to care for you. It seems very intuitive that a person without a carer would die earlier.
Thanks for your thoughtful words Evelyn. I did feel terrible at myself when the foxes thought crossed my mind... but then I am my mind, am I not. and so when i write about real me, i havent spared myself from the bad side. it genuinely surprised me when i realised he was my 7th uncle to die.
i will need to see if i can spot your "severin"!
ive tentatively named an evil vicar ghoul the reverend Severin Speighthart in a story im working up to do a splurge horror. i do love that name too.
thanks for taking the time to read and feed back. i like to do different stuff from time to time. got some horrors brewing of course and more sci fi. basically addicted. feedback = dopamine
I have always appreciated artists of any kind willing to try different things, and I hope others feel the same cause I’m cooking up a years worth of non-horror content lol but I’ll always be writing horror
it just comes out of me on its own... like poor uncle sev being eaten by foxes... why would i even think that? ??? but yet... there's a story in that, am I right?
That's another lovely eulogy, Nick.

The fishing maggots information is very interesting. Another good read, thanks for sharing.

There definitely is — maybe even one similar to Daniel W Davidson’s recent story

No, no no! Haha I have a non fiction Substack for that — I meant 1 year of non-horror: my fantasy book
