As I said in my Patreon announcement, my goal is to write one long-form essay every month in addition to the short posts I do weekly. This one is from school, and covers classic literature instead of video games.

PDF: Darker and Edgier: Existential horror from Mary Shelley to H.P. Lovecraft

The tone and format are naturally a bit more academic than my usual, but I think the content is still relevant and could be useful to other aspiring writers.
