https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa1qob4 [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa1qob4] The Daemon will be unleashed on Screambox beginning March 24. “Grieving his father’s suicide, Tom isolates himself at a remote lakeside cottage, unaware that something ancient and malevolent lies beneath the water. As the lake begins to warp his mind and memories, Tom slips toward possession. When his wife sets out to find him, she uncovers a dark force that feeds on trauma and has already claimed this family once before.” A moody, psychological descent into grief, possession, and the terror of an inescapable past, The Daemon is written and directed by Matt Devino and David Michael Yohe. Tyler Q. Rosen, Adriana Isabel, and Sarah Fletcher star.
Bevan Thomas“We had 'strayed,' as the Swede put it, into some region or some set of conditions where the risks were great, yet unintelligible to us; where the frontiers of some unknown world lay close about us. It was a spot held by the dwellers in some outer space, a sort of peep-hole whence they could spy upon the Earth, themselves unseen, a point where the veil between had worn a little thin. As the final result of too long a sojourn here, we should be carried over the border and deprived of what we called ‘our lives,’ yet by mental, not physical, processes. In that sense, as he said, we should be the victims of our adventure - a sacrifice."
- Algernon Blackwood, "The Willows"

Lauren McMenemyEvery Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). We're off to Arizona this Friday 13th to meet the cosmic horror & space opera enthusiast Benjamin Adams. A late autism diagnosis and serious illness threatened his prolific short story output, but he's back and ready to write!
Daniel Rourke#CosmicHorror factoid of the day:
If the vacuum of space didn't block sound from reaching us, the sun would be as loud as a jackhammer everywhere on Earth. At all times. If the sun were to blink out, it would take 8 minutes for the light to stop but 13 YEARS for the sound to stop.

4 Cosmic Horror Movies to Watch After Iron Lung - sh.itjust.works
Cosmic horror is defined by the terror of the unknowable and the realization that humanity is insignificant in the face of indifferent forces or existential voids. These stories typically bypass standard slasher tropes to explore the psychological erosion that occurs when a character is confronted with forces that exist beyond human comprehension. In the case of Simon’s descent into the crimson depths, the horror stems from the silence of a dead universe and the suggestion that something massive and ancient still lurks in the dark. Now that Iron Lung has brought cosmic horror into the mainstream spotlight, it’s the perfect time to watch other films that have explored these horrifying boundaries of reality and the fragility of the human mind. 4) The Endless 3) The Empty Man 2) Annihilation 1) Event Horizon
Assoc for Scottish Literature“The current strength of Scottish weird fiction has its roots in Lindsay’s surreal & stricken work… Lindsay ought to be considered alongside writers like Arthur Machen, William Hope Hodgson & HP Lovecraft as one of the great proponents of cosmic horror”

Many Worlds: David Lindsay and alternative realities - The Bottle Imp
Although his two greatest works, A Voyage to Arcturus (1920) and The Haunted Woman (1922) were re-issued as Canongate Classics in the 1980s, the work of David Lindsay has never achieved either the critical or popular acclaim he deserves. Born in 1876 in Lewisham, his parents came from Jedburgh and he spent much of his childhood there. His life […]
