The way you weave Instagram's algorithm into a horror framework is chilling. The idea that people would endure surgery without painkillers to match their filtered photos takes our very real anxieties about social media to their logical, terrifying conclusion. Iv'e seen friends get suked into comparing themselves to impossible standards but never imagined it quite this visceral. The slime imagery throughout adds a disturbing tactile element.
Thank you! I was trying to think how extreme it could go, and also to think about the culty element of it - how we all seem to lose our minds around social media. Really appreciate your comment
Gaby, this is brilliant. I spend so much time thinking about social media and my relationship with it. I love how you've woven this social commentary on the algorithm and its influence over society into a horror story like this! Just chilling.
You're scary! Haha. Great story. Too real. Glad to read another banger by G Brogan.
Haha thank you, I’ll take that! I always struggled with horror but figured I’d give it a go. Glad to be back!

Probably shouldn't have read this before trying to go to sleep 😅 Great read!
Good stuff here Gaby. Great pace to the story and i like the parallels.
Another awesome story Gaby. I liked this one because you took what might/could happen into it’s terrible conclusion. Great writing!!!
The descriptions of the pumpkin carving were so good, exactly what I crave in the dead of winter!
Okay, I'm out 🫣 really enjoyed the mystery of the scars, cults are the creepiest things and mixed with social media a nightmare, good golly!
I am so freaked out right now. You're so good, Gaby
