Hello r/horrorlit! 

Thank you mods for being so kind and supportive in letting me post here. 

I’m doing my MSc Psychology dissertation on horror as an emotional support. I’m hoping to recruit horror fans to interview about their experiences and insights with horror media and its use in comfort and coping. 

If you are interested, please email me at 2422890@brunel.ac.uk

The only requirements are:
- Being over 18
- Speaking fluent English
- Having an internet connection
- Being a fan of horror

The interview would be online and recorded through zoom or teams, and likely be 30-70 minutes. Your data will be transcribed and anonymised, you will be able to withdraw up to two weeks after your interview by emailing me and saying you no longer want to take part. My study has ethical approval from Brunel University. 

If you need any more information please comment or DM me.

Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful spooky day! 

So I was reading the famtheon comic by Neal-Illustrator (I quite enjoy their art) and in post comic text they wrote “Fun fact! Hestia, Demeter and Hera were all gifts created by the Titans for Chronos.” And then a bit more on the specifics of this. I can’t find any mention of this in any of the texts I’ve looked through (granted I am no classics scholar), is this meant to be something created purely for the famtheon comic? It’s certainly an interesting take I haven’t seen before and I’d be fascinated if it were reflected in any ancient texts. I do suspect it might just be an attempt to lessen the incest between Hera and Zeus within their story though.

Hopefully got it right this time!

Thank you for your attention. I’m looking for participants for my MSc research project.
