honestly the power of tma beginning with the story of an anglerfish when the horror story itself IS an anglerfish.. it draws the characters in with promises of solvable mysteries, answered questions, fulfilled revenge, power gained, justice served - whatever bait they need to take their places on the stage… but AS SOON as the tape recorder clicks on and the story starts to be told they are trapped in their roles even if they don’t know it yet, caught in the jaws of something that refuses to let them go; they are food waiting to be consumed, ghosts waiting to happen; the minute the story begins is the minute the trap shuts, the minute it becomes inevitable that eventually the characters will look around and realize there’s no way out!!!
