In all honesty I love the midwestern gothic aesthetic because it works well both realistically and in fiction; it’s already horrific standing on its own, with all the hopeless people and cloudy skies, flat, barren fields and ominous signs warning of hellfire and begging you to seek salvation through Christ, but the idea of nightmarish creatures slithering out of the cornfields on an oppressively humid midnight in July is so enticing and I just really adore this aesthetic,
