This was an incredible essay, Lucas, and particularly hits home for me. The insights from Cina were a welcome addition. She's definitely one of a kind in the horror genre and an all-around great lady. Thanks for the effort and thought you put into this. It gave me much to think about.
Well said, Lucas. The shadow is one of my favorite obsessions. If you’ve never read it, OWNING YOUR OWN SHADOW by Robert Johnson is a must-read. He was a Jungian scholar and psychologist who wrote numerous books on archetypes, relationships, and mythology. In fact, you’ve inspired me to re-read it!
Horror gave me a safe space to explore my feelings of abandonment and my father. It helped me confront my own shadow in a safe space. I learned a lot about myself.
