Silence Isn't Neutral

Every debut has a story.

Where the Grim Cojuelo came from and why a carnival trickster became a hunter of the guilty. What René Girard's Mimetic Theory gets wrong about Alex. Why the metaphors in the first half compete with each other. What "silence isn't neutral" actually means — and the Tuesday afternoon phone call that turned a slasher novel into something with a moral center.🌐 mortalvengeance.com📚 Buy the books on AmazonKeep the lights on.
