Monstrous Beauty
“As I said in the Afterword, when I wrote the first of these stories, I thought it was a one-off thing. Like conspiracy theory and fanfiction, however, this mode of writing turned out to be a set of lenses through which I could look at familiar things and see them in a new light. That first story spawned “Tower in Moonlight,” which then spawned more in turn.
This one was partially inspired by personal experience. I’ve had long hair since high school—“long” being “mid-back or lower,” and ofte...n down to my hips. In the winter, the dry air means my hair becomes infested with static electricity. You know those plastic desk-chair combos you find in schools? During class I would pull my ponytail or braid forward over my shoulder and find the tail end of it reaching for my face of its own accord. I joked that it was a starting premise for a horror movie . . . or, as it turns out, a horror short story.
