I am a fan of the supernatural, when it comes to tv and films. Not the gory side, but what might be called ‘magical realism’ in books. A vampire slayer here, a zombie detective there: things which marry everyday experiences with the trials and tribulations of a secret otherworldliness.
It’s not something I particularly look for in my reading, or in my writing – but as I prepare a few pieces for open mike night I have the urge to write something poetic about it. Maybe a vampiric verse, or ode to the undead. Or perhaps a more prosaic approach, talking tv.
I don’t know what, if anything, will work but it’s a challenge I quite fancy taking on. New approaches don’t always work but they are always worth trying.
It might even create an opportunity for me to be comedic in my writing, although that could be a step too far…!
Whatever oddness ensues, it’ll be an interesting experiment. I’ll start by watching a few a few shows for research, to get a feel for the balance between reality and the supernatural.
It’s a hard life!
Happy writing
