 Unraveling the Layers of "The Silence Factory": A Dive into Domestic Horror

I recently finished reading "The Silence Factory" by Bridget Collins. After completing it, I found myself questioning why I enjoyed the book, even though it didn’t always make sense. I realized that it resonates with me because it falls into the category of domestic horror. The story is told from the perspective of a man, which intrigued me as I watched his journey shift from admiration for his boss to the realization that he is a monster. The women around him sense this transformation and react accordingly.

I consider myself a big reader, which might be surprising since I mostly post fan art and fanfiction. However, I do enjoy physical books and audiobooks. This preference is mainly due to chronic pain, which sometimes makes it difficult for me to hold books, causing discomfort and making reading challenging.

As a fan of horror, although I’m not entirely sure why, I tend not to get scared by horror movies. While reading "The Silence Factory," I noted that it is a domestic horror novel that explores the darker aspects of human relationships and the hidden secrets that can lie beneath the surface. The narrative primarily focuses on a man who experiences a significant shift in his perception of someone he initially admired—his boss. As the story unfolds, he realizes that this person he respected may be far more sinister than he appeared. It delves into themes of deception, power dynamics, and the unsettling elements of everyday life, making it an engaging read for fans of psychological horror.

A fundamental aspect of the story is how he often ignores warnings from the women around him, who urge him to be cautious of the men he associates with and encourage him to choose a different path altogether. Despite their advice, he remains focused on not feeling lost, especially since the man they call a monster gave him the gift of silence, as he wanted to escape from any sound that reminded him of his wife and daughter. Some may interpret his actions as sexist, but I view him as someone trying to be helpful after navigating his own struggles. The ending is particularly satisfying, capturing the essence of domestic horror, which is why it has become my favorite subgenre.

In I See the Face, Shahidul Zahir presents an alternative retelling of Bangladesh's history, beginning with the War of Liberation in 1971. Through a mesmerizing narrative, Zahir explores the post-independence crisis of Bangladesh and the toll it takes on gifted but impoverished youth. With biting humor and an ethereal style, I See the Face is a reading experience like no other, cementing Zahir's status as a literary master.

another reading update

so i have about five hours left of how to sell a haunted house and i realllyyyyy hate these dolls/puppets.

i feel bad for blaming mark for stuff now i see his side of the story but i do have to admit he was being a bit sus in the beginning.

and the ring leader puppet? pupkin? yeah i don't fuck with him tbh.

its actually scary like? when you get to the fight scene in the house with the needle? yeah that one i was cringing so hard because i hate that stuff so much.

so far i would give it about 4.5 or even 5 stars, it's my type of creepy, an actual book that makes me cringe and be creeped out but not over the top like a slasher horror. i would recommend it so far!

Guys!! Tell me how your life is going! I’m so curious how are you doing today😇

Well my last weeks has been so crazy! I quited my job two weeks ago and now I have alot time to create and study! I restarted learning German. I’d worried I didn’t enjoy the process of learning. But I love it again! Every day I can’t wait the moment when I can learn again🤩

The day is so sunny but I have online classes today and need to complete my tasks for second major. I also need to clean up my room a little bit. I’m wondering about starting recording the podcast, i have two specific ideas but dunno which one is better or I can glue them together. Need to have some tries and then I will decide. Firstly i need to get a mic but my bro told me he can lend me his one.

And - the important question! Is anybody from Sweden/Stockholm here? Yesterday I bought a flight ticket and need to collect recommendations what to do in that country!!

Have a nice Sunday y’all❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I'm realy excited to share this piece! It's been in the making for quite some time and it's finaly finished! It's a comic inspired by the book "Midnight in Everwood", which is a retelling of a Nutcracker story. Loved the book and when I was reading this particular scene I immediately imagined is as a comic and here we are.
