The World of Horrotica: Dormant

By David Edward Collier

THE APOCALYPSE CODEX PROPHESIZES THE COMING OF THE APOCALYPSE, UNLESS, OF COURSE, THE UNDERGROUND APOCALYPSE RESISTANCE CAN PREVENT THE APOCALYPSE FROM HAPPENING. HOWEVER, IN THE TRICKY PROCESS OF TRYING TO PREVENT THE APOCALYPSE, THE APOCALYPSE RESISTANCE INSTEAD CAUSES THE APOCALYPSE TO BEGIN.
IS THE ZOMBIE DOOMSDAY UPON US: IN SHADOW OF TOMORROW, HELLREBEL AND HELLDEVIL ARE ORPHANED TWINS RAISED AS DAY-WALKING VAMPIRE HUNTERS BY THE BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD, OTHERWISE KNOWN DOWN THE ROAD AS THE UNDERGROUND APOCALYPSE RESISTANCE.
WALKING DEAD MEN WANTED AS VIGILANTE OUTLAWS HUNTED DOWN BY THE LAW, HELLREBEL AND HELLDEVIL MUST HUNT DOWN THE DEVIL INCARNATE BEFORE THE DEVIL INCARNATE HUNTS DOWN SIN INCARNATE. OTHERWISE, SIN INCARNATE WILL GIVE BIRTH TO DEATH INCARNATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DID YOU KNOW ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON PENNED DR. JECKYLL AND MR. HYDE ON A SIX-DAY COCAINE BINGE? LIKE DR. JECKYLL AND MR. HYDE, EACH ONE OF US HAS A SPLIT PERSONALITY. THE GOOD SIDE THAT WE SHOW OFF DURING THE DAY, AND THEN THAT DARK SIDE THAT WE TRY TO KEEP HIDDEN IN THE DARKEST CORNER OF OUR CLOSET. I HIDE THESE EPISODES INSIDE THE CLOSET. WE ALL HAVE SKELETONS BURIED IN OUR CLOSET. BUT ME, I HAVE A CEMETERY BURIED IN MINE.
HOWEVER, I FEAR SOMEONE WILL UNLOCK MY CLOSET. I SEE IT EVERY NIGHT IN MY NIGHTMARES, NIGHTMARES THAT WAKE ME EVERY NIGHT. LIKE FRANKENSTEIN, I SEE MYSELF FLEEING IN FEAR, RUNNING FASTER AND FASTER, RUSHING DOWN A DARK ROAD DISAPPEARING THROUGH THE SNOW-SWEPT WOODS GROWING DARKER AMIDST A BITTER WINTER, RUNNING FARTHER AND FURTHER AWAY, RUSHING THROUGH THE WIND-SWEPT WILD. IT WANDERS WAYWARD ACROSS UNFOLDING VIRGIN VISTAS AS IT WONDERS TO GOD IN HEAVEN, WHY THE HELL IN THE WORLD ARE THE RABID DOGS IN SUCH RUTHLESS, PITILESS, RELENTLESS PURSUIT? THERE ARE SOME DOGS THAT BARK. HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHER DOGS THAT BITE. SAVE ME FROM MY SINS BEFORE THEY CATCH UP TO ME. MAN MAKES HIS HELL AND MY MIND IS MINE. SAVE ME FROM THE DEVIL AND FREE MY SOUL FROM THIS LIVING HELL.
AS A WALKING DEAD MAN HUNTED DOWN IN THE DEAD MANS LAND, YUPPIE CITY WAS HOOKED ON MALE FUEL. MALE FUEL TURNED YOU INTO A MAN. MALE FUEL TURNED YOU INTO A MACHINE. MALE FUEL TURNED YOU INTO A MONSTER. HOWEVER, WHEN BIO/CIDE WENT UNDER, BIO/CIDE CITY NO LONGER MASS-PRODUCED MALE FUEL. THE ALICE-IN-WONDERLAND WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOM OF MALE FUEL WAS THAT YOU DEVELOPED VIOLENT ZOMBIE-LIKE BEHAVIOR THAT TURNED YOU INTO A HUMAN BEAST THAT BEHAVED LIKE A ZOMBIE. WHAT WAS STILL LEFT AT THE BIO/CIDE CITY WAS HORDED BY HUMANS THAT TOOK REFUGE UNDERGROUND. HOWEVER, FOR THOSE THAT WERE STILL ALIVE, THE UNDERWORLD WAS NOT ANY BETTER THAN THE WORLD THEY LEFT BEHIND.
FOLLOWING THE GRAVEYARD WARS, THE WORLD OF HORROTICA WAS RECLAIMED BY THE OUTCASTS AND THE OUTLAWS WHO WEATHERED THE STORM WHILE LIVING UNDERGROUND WHERE THE REMAINING REMNANTS OF THE HUMAN CIVILIZATION RETURNED TO THE MORTAL WORLD WHERE THE OUTCASTS AND THE OUTLAWS TOOK CONTROL OF THE HUMAN WORLD, WHICH BECAME KNOWN AS THE LAWLESS LAND.

WHAT’S IN YOUR CLOSET?

A LETTER TO THE READER:

DEAR READER,

HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WORLD! WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU MIX HORROR WITH EROTICA? YOU GET HORROTICA. HORROTICA IS A SERIES OF SIX VOLUMES. SCATHING WITH WITTY SARCASM, HORROTICA IS AN ENTERTAINING, EDUCATIONAL, AVANT-GARDE, DARK TRAGICOMEDY OF MANNERS AND MORES, A SURREAL SOCIAL SATIRE EMBRACING A NIHILISTIC, POST-MODERN SOCIAL AWARENESS KEEPING YOU, THE READER, HANGING ON BY A THIN MORAL THREAD. LAYER UPON LAYER LIKE LASAGNA, THIS DARK GRAPHIC NOVEL IS NARCOTIC WITH A RAZOR-SHARP EROTIC EDGE TO IT. IT IS POETIC AND GRAPHIC, BUT YET, NOT PORNOGRAPHIC. ON THAT NOTE, THAT GENERATION WHO GREW UP READING GOOSEBUMPS HAS NOW GROWN UP. LOOK AT HORROTICA AS GOOSEBUMPS FOR ADULTS. MY TARGET MARKET IS GEARED TOWARDS A MATURE AUDIENCE. I REFER TO THIS NICHE CARVED OUT IN THE MARKETPLACE AS GENERATION XXX, WHICH I SEE AS THE MISUNDERSTOOD GENERATION OF OUR TIME. HORROTICA HELPS A MATURE AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND HOW THE YOUNGER GENERATION SEES YOUR WORLD THROUGH THEIR EYES BY UNDERSTANDING A MISUNDERSTOOD GENERATION OF GUINEA PIGS DESENSITIZED TOWARDS SEX AND VIOLENCE. HOWEVER, CAN YOU STILL SHOCK A GENERATION OF BURGER FLIPPERS LIVING IN A VEGETATIVE STATE WHO PREFERS TO MEET PEOPLE IN A CHAT ROOM RATHER THAN IN A BAR ROOM? WHETHER OR NOT, IT WILL EITHER STRIKE A CHORD OR STRIKE A NERVE.

HORROTICA ITSELF IS A CRITIQUE OF CONTROL AND CONFORMITY IN A COLD WORLD DROWNING IN SIN DROWNING A DARK WORLD SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL, PUTTING INTO QUESTION WHETHER A MORALIST OR A NIHILIST WROTE THE STORIES IN THIS SERIES. THIS SERIES OF STORIES IS A STUDY IN POWER AND CONTROL, POWER AND THE CONTROL OF POWER. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE MOST OUT OF CONTROL HAVE THIS SICK URGE TO CONTROL EVERYONE ELSE. THE SAME THING FAUST WAS IN SEARCH OF. HE SOUGHT POWER AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL IT, A WAY TO GAIN POWER OVER ANOTHER. THEREFORE THEN, WHAT MAKES YOU CONFORM TO THE NORM? IS IT AN ACCEPTANCE AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF AUTHORITY FIGURES? OR IS IT THAT YOU BUY INTO WHAT A MAGAZINE WITH A GLOSSY COVER SAYS AND YOU PLAY UP THE ROLE AND YOU DRESS FOR THE PART?

THIS SERIES OF STORIES COVERS A NUMBER OF THEMES SUCH AS ROLE VS. REALITY: FUSION OF POP CULTURE AND A SUBVERSIVE SUB CULT. HOW HOLLYWOOD GLORIFIES AND GLAMORIZES BLOOD AND GORE BY GLAMORIZING GLAM AND HORROR. THIS SERIES OF STORIES PUTS A VALUE ON THE INVALUABLE VALUE OF SHOCK VALUE IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE IS DESENSITIZED DUE TO THE MEDIA SHOVING SEX AND VIOLENCE DOWN OUR THROATS. WHATEVER INFLUENCES AN INDIVIDUAL MAKES THEM NOT AN INDIVIDUAL ANYMORE THROUGH THE MEDIA MACHINE’S INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IDENTITY. PEOPLE DEVELOP A FASCINATION WITH SURFACE OVER DEPTH AND THEY MAKE UP FOR THAT LACK OF SUBSTANCE WITH A SENSE OF STYLE. PEOPLE CHOOSE THEIR PUBLIC PERSONA BY HOW CALVIN KLEIN TELLS THEM HOW TO DRESS. PEOPLE WALK IN THEIR OWN SHADOWS FOLLOWING THE LATEST, HIPPEST TRENDS IN MAGAZINES AND RESTAURANT GUIDES THEY READ. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A MIRROR REFLECTION OF EVERYONE ELSE. THEY HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF A PUBLIC IDENTITY, BUT THEY HAVE NO TRUE SENSE OF A PERSONAL IDENTITY. PRIVATE IDENTITY REFERS TO THE SKELETONS, WHICH PEOPLE KEEP HIDDEN IN THEIR CLOSET. THE YUPPIE SLAYER PULLS THE TRIGGER, HOWEVER THE PRESENCE OF SEX AND VIOLENCE IN THE MEDIA OUTLETS AROUND HIM LOADS THE AMMUNITION BY PLANTING THE SEED OF THE DEVIL DEEP INSIDE HIS HEAD. THE YUPPIE SLAYER PADLOCKS HIS PRIVATE IDENTITY IN THE CLOSET. MANUFACTURED OUT OF A CONSUMERIST CULTURE OF FEAR AND VIOLENCE, THE YUPPIE SLAYER IS A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT. FREDERICK TAKES ON THE IDENTITY AND ASSUMES THE ROLE AS THE MASKED MAN IN HIS STORIES BY CONSUMING THE ROLE OF THE YUPPIE SLAYER. HE IS A FIGMENT OF HIS OWN IMAGINATION RUNNING RAMPANT THROUGH THE DARK SHADOWS THAT SLITHER ACROSS THE DARK STREETS. CHARACTER VS. ACTOR REFERS TO HOW THE YUPPIE SLAYER FULFILLS FREDERICK FITZGERALD’S VIOLENT, SEX-FUELED FANTASIES. THE YUPPIE SLAYER IS FREDERICK FITZGERALD’S ID. DAVID COLE EXPRESSES HIMSELF THROUGH FREDERICK FITZGERALD’S STORIES. FREDERICK FITZGERALD IS DAVID COLE’S EGO. DAVID COLE GOVERNS CHAINSTONE’S ACTIONS. DAVID COLE IS CHAINSTONE’S SUPEREGO. THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE ALL PUT TOGETHER FLESH OUT ONE THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER THAT HAS CHARACTER. CHARACTERS IN THIS SERIES OF STORIES TRY IN VAIN TO CONFORM, BUT THE CHARACTERS IN THIS COLD WORLD FEEL CONFINED BY THE CURRENT NORMS IN THIS COLD WORLD. AS A SENSE OF ALIENATION DEVELOPS, THE CHARACTERS REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM REALITY AND FALL INTO A ALTERED ALTERNATE REALITY, WHICH IS MORE FANTASY THAN REALITY. IT MIGHT SEEM MORE LIKE A FANTASY WORLD. HOWEVER TO THEM, THAT WORLD IS THEIR WORLD. FANTASY VS. REALITY: IN AND OUT OF CHARACTER REFERS TO HOW THE CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN. HE PUTS ON A MASK IN THE MORNING. HE IS THE LEAD MAN IN HIS OWN MOVIE. HE KNOWS HOW TO SELL HIMSELF. HE OWNS THE ROLE. HE SHINES ON STAGE IN THE SPOTLIGHT WITH A SOCIAL POLISH ON THE SURFACE. HOWEVER, SEETHING JUST RIGHT BENEATH THAT SURFACE, HE FREES THE ANIMAL FROM ITS CAGE, FREE TO ROAM THE DARK COLD STREETS IN THE DARKEST AND COLDEST HOURS OF THE NIGHT. ON AND OFF STAGE REFERS TO HOW THERE IS A MALE-FEMALE RELATIONSHIP IN THE CORPORATE WORLD. IN THE BOARDROOM, A POWER DIFFERENTIAL EXISTS. IT IS A REVOLVING DOOR OF EXPLOITATION AND EMPOWERMENT. CORPORATE OFFICE WHORES ARE CORPORATE SLAVES. EXECUTIVES ARE THE MASTERS OF THE BEDROOM. THE DOMINANT MAN PUTS ON A POWER TIE AND HE PUTS HIMSELF IN A POSITION OF POWER, PRESENTING HIMSELF IN A ROLE, INTIMIDATING THE COMPETITION. PEOPLE ADAPT ROLES AND IDENTIFY THEMSELVES IN AN EVER-CHANGING CORPORATE LANDSCAPE. MEN USE VIOLENCE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. WOMEN USE SEX TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. BETTER PUT, A MAN’S WALLET IS HIS WEAPON. BORN WITH A PRICE TAG ON HER ASS, A WOMAN’S BODY IS HER WEAPON. SUCCESS AND EXCESS REFERS TO HOW THE YUPPIES USE THEIR WEALTH, POWER, AND PRESTIGE AS A SHIELD, BUT KEEPING THEIR PRICK IN THEIR PANTS IS THEIR ACHILLES’ HEEL. MONEY IS THE SOURCE OF THAT EROTICISM. THE SUBJUGATION OF THE FEMALE BODY IS A COMMODITY ON THE STOCK MARKET. IT IS A VIOLENT CULTURE OF GENDER BRUTALITY, SHOWCASING THE MERCHANDISING OF FEMALES FOR A MALE-ORIENTED, TESTOSTERONE-RIDDLED AUDIENCE. HAMARTIA (CONSUMERISM/MATERIALISM): CONSUMERISM AND COMPARISON: SOMEONE SEES WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS AND HE HAS TO HAVE WHAT HE HAS. PEOPLE LUST FOR MONEY, MATERIAL GOODS, AND SEX. EVEN THE CHARACTERS THEMSELVES ARE LOOKED AT AND SEEN, NOT AS SUBJECTS, BUT AS MATERIAL OBJECTS: ATMS WITH A PENIS AND HUMAN SEX TOYS WITH A NICE PIECE OF ASS. THEY ARE CONSUMERS CONSUMED BY THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. THEY OBSESS OVER THEIR OBSESSIONS. THEIR POSSESSIONS POSSESS THEM AND WHAT THEY OWN OWNS THEM. THE YUPPIE SLAYER IS ENVIOUS OF EVERYONE ELSE WHO OWNS SOMETHING HE DOES NOT YET OWN HIMSELF. IT IS THAT ENVY THAT EATS HIM ALIVE. ENVY DRIVES HIM STRAIGHT UP A WALL, WHICH DRIVES HIM NOWHERE BUT STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL. HOWEVER, HE DOES NOT SHOW THAT SIDE TO HIS PERSONALITY WHEN HE IS PERFORMING ON STAGE. ON STAGE, HE CARRIES HIMSELF LIKE A GQ MODEL STRUTTING AND PREENING DOWN THE SIDEWALK AS THOUGH IT IS HIS OWN PERSONAL CATWALK, SPENDING HIS DAYS ON SHOPPING SPREES AND THEN SPENDING HIS NIGHTS ON KILLING SPREES. LIVING UP TO THE STANDARDS OF A PLASTIC DOLL REFERS TO HOW FEMALES ARE PORTRAYED IN A DARKER LIGHT. FEMALES ARE MEASURED UP TO BARBIE, THE SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED IDEAL BODY IMAGE. THE BARBIE DOLLS PLAY UP THAT SEXUAL FANTASY AS THAT BREAST-ENHANCED, BLUE-EYED, BLEACH-BLOND, LONG-LEGGED BEAUTY WITH ALL THE RIGHT CURVES IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES WITH A FAKE PLASTICIZED VENEERED SMILE TO GO WITH ALL HER OTHER FAKE BODY PARTS. AS THE BARBIE DOLLS STRIP AWAY THEIR INHIBITIONS AND STRUT UPON THE STAGE UNDER THE TRAINED EYE OF HER CONDITIONED AUDIENCE, THE BARBIE DOLLS STRIP A MAN’S WALLET IN THE PROCESS OF THE ACT. THOUGH THE QUESTION THEN IS THIS. WHO SCREWS OVER WHOM MORE? IN THE END, EVERYONE ENDS UP AS A VICTIM. HOWEVER, WHO CONTROLS WHOM MORE, THE VICTIM OR THE VICTIMIZER? SEXUAL IDENTITY AND SEXUAL LIBERATION SHOW HOW THIS STORY EXPLORES THE EXTREMES OF EROTICISM, SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE DARKER SIDE OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR. IT INTRODUCES THE AUDIENCE TO WHAT LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DOOR I: THE KEY CLUB, AN UNDERGROUND SWINGER’S CLUB OF LOVERS AND CHEATING LIARS WHERE REALITY MEETS FANTASY. DRENCHED IN DEVILISH DECADENCE, THE KEY CLUB IS A SYMBOL OF EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL LIBERATION THAT FUELS THE IMAGINATION, A REALITY THAT ONLY EXISTS IN OUR FANTASIES. THE MASK OF MASCULINITY IS A VIOLENT RAPE OF THE HUMAN IMAGINATION. IT DOES NOT CELEBRATE SEX AND VIOLENCE. IT CONDEMNS SEX AND VIOLENCE. MEN WHO ACT LIKE MEN ARE NOT MEN. WHEN A MAN’S MASCULINITY IS PUT INTO QUESTION, IT CONNECTS CONSUMERIST CULTURE AND SEX AND VIOLENCE IN THE MEDIA AS A MEANS TO RECREATE A SENSE OF SEXUAL IDENTITY. THE REALITY OF REALITY: UTOPIA/DYSTOPIA. SOCIAL INEQUALITIES, SOCIAL DEVIANCE, RACIAL PERSECUTION, RACIAL/SOCIAL INJUSTICE, AND SOCIAL STRATIFICATION EXAMINES HOW THERE IS A HIERARCHY OF CLASSES, OCCUPATION AND SOCIAL STATUS ON THE FOOD CHAIN THAT IS THIS COLD WORLD. IN THIS COLD WORLD, THERE IS A SOCIOECONOMIC CLASS STRUGGLE WHERE IN WHICH THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CONCENTRATED AROUND THE EXTREMES. VICE/VIRTUE AND VENGEANCE/JUSTICE SHOW HOW SOCIAL DEVIANCE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. SOCIAL DEVIANCE RUNS THE COLORS OF THE HUMAN SPECTRUM WHERE IN WHICH MAN IS A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT CONSUMED BY SEX, MONEY, AND FEAR, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO HATE, ANGER, AND BLIND RAGE. JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK, HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE, THE ABUSED BECOMES ABUSIVE, AND THE VICTIM BECOMES THE VICTIMIZER. SO THE QUESTION THEN IS THIS. NOT WHAT IS DEVIANCE, BUT WHAT IS THE NORM IN AN ALICE-IN-WONDERLAND LOOKING-GLASS WORLD, WHICH IS FAR FROM NORMAL WITH NOT-SO NORMAL PEOPLE WHO STRAY FAR AWAY FROM THE NORM? LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, CAN MANKIND EVER CHANGE? IS FEAR EITHER A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING? FEAR EITHER BREEDS AWARENESS OR IGNORANCE. BY SEEING THE LIGHT ONLY ON YOUR DARKEST OF DAYS AND BY REPLACING THE FEAR IN YOUR HEART WITH PEACE, THE ANGEL WITHIN OUR DARK SOUL HAS NOT LIVED UNTIL THE DEVIL INSIDE HAS DIED AND GONE TO HELL. MANUFACTURED OUT OF A CONSUMERIST CULTURE OF FEAR AND VIOLENCE, THIS SERIES INTRODUCES A DARK-EDGED CAST OF CONFLICTED, ANTI-SUPERHEROES NOT ONLY AT ODDS WITH THIS HELLISH, NIGHTMARISH, UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD SURROUNDING THEM IN THE NIGHT, BUT ALSO THE PRIVATE WORLD WITHIN THEMSELVES. THE CHARACTERS IN THIS HORROR WORLD NOT ONLY FEED OFF OF THEIR RAW EMOTIONS, BUT THE CHARACTERS ALSO PLAY ON OUR EMOTIONS BY PLAYING OFF THE THINGS YOU FEAR ONLY IN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARES. IN CLOSING, IN REGARDS TO THE TWILIGHT-ZONE TIMELINE OF THIS SERIES OF STORIES, THESE STORIES OVERLAP ONE ANOTHER LIKE LAYERS OF CHEESE LASAGNA WHERE THE TIMELINE ITSELF IS LIKE A ZIPPER SPUN AROUND IN A TWILIGHT ZONE SYMBOL.

WARMEST REGARDS!
