THE HORROR IS THE HEALING
A Manifesto by Jake Bannerman
Let’s redefine what horror is.
Horror isn’t about monsters in closets.
It isn’t about cheap thrills or final girls.
It isn’t about body counts or masked killers.
Horror is what it feels like to want to die and not say it out loud.
Horror is growing up in a broken home with no roadmap to tenderness.
Horror is surviving trauma and being expected to smile about it.
Horror is knowing the world is bleeding and nobody wants to talk about it.
I don’t write horror to scare you.
I write horror to expose the things you already live with.
These books aren’t entertainment.
They’re survival documents.
They’re my suicide notes—rewritten with blood, not ink.
You won’t find comfort here.
You’ll find confrontation.
You’ll find sacred filth.
You’ll find what everyone else pretends not to see.
I am not a horror writer.
I am an exorcist with a pen.
Every word is ritual.
Every paragraph is purging.
Every chapter is a psychic scream.
If you’ve ever:
-
Felt like ending it all but couldn’t say why
-
Been called “too much” for telling the truth
-
Smiled through hell because no one would listen
-
Wished someone would just fucking say it already—
Then these books are for you.
Not to scare you.
To save you.
This is horror.
