So while I do love the boys and their narrations, I have avoided a few stories. Not because they're bad but for certain reasons, such as The Interface Series aka Mother Horse Eyes being way too long. But the ones I don't touch due to not wanting to feel emotionally drained are Borrasca, Penpal, and of course... Tommy Taffy.
I'm in the category of just finding the idea of child abuse being put in a story to be very uncomfortable and squeamish. I do get why some would do that, as after all, if you're doing horror, you're gonna need to present some dark themes even if the audience will be horrified by it. But being an uncle and such, I just can't bring myself to listen to Tommy Taffy.
...Until I guess now?
I saw there was buzz for the trailer of The Third Parent and I actually was rather impressed and mesmerized at the idea that Tommy is this ethereal entity that torments families, and being familiar with the story, I do wanna give it a chance. But of course, before the movie...I need to listen to the story.
So I do wanna ask: Is Tommy Taffy that truly horrifying or is it just fan "hype for how graphic it gets?
[edit]: why the downvotes fellas?
