Do you like reading and/or
cult British comedy shows and horror? If so, you might have the time to leaf
through this incredibly long critical study I wrote on the spoof horror series Garth
Marenghi's Darkplace (2004), which has been published by Horrified Magazine. Titled – with tongue
partly in cheek! – "Hell Hath Fury: The 'horror illuminatum' of Garth
Marenghi's Darkplace", the essay aims to explore the potential influences
and ways in which genre and horror fiction are used and referenced as part of
the show's conception and delivery. You
can read it here.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace [Richard
Ayoade, 2004]:
Writing this has occupied
quite a bit of my free time over the last couple of weeks, so I'm hoping now to
get back into the habit of updating the blog as regularly as I'm able to. I've
noticed that since blogger changed its interface recently, the font sizes for
some of my older posts have been affected. The text on some posts is now incredibly
small, as small as footnotes! I'm hoping to fix some of these issues
shortly, mostly because they irritate my OCD. The text on "Darkplace"
is a bit of a long ramble, so it's much appreciated if you do take the time to
look at it. Stay safe.
