“As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.”
― Leonard Cohen, The Favourite Game
The trappings of childhood have always been fodder for horror. Be it the cruel games children play in pantomime of the vicious adult world around them, fear of the dark, salivating monsters in the closet or under the bed, the creepy toy a child will regard with nervous sideways glances or the bizarre and sick tales that we have weaned our children on over centuries, rarely stopping to consider their gruesome realities. Fairy stories. Folk tales. Read unblinkingly before the lights go out and the child is left alone in darkness, vulnerable in the seemingly vast and alien landscape of their bed. Abandonment. Murder. Rape. Cannibalism. This is what we fill their minds with just before we leave them with nothing but their imaginations for the night.
