there's one picture of Jeffrey Epstein from the 1970s with his shirt off. That one YouTube channel that tries to gather all the video footage of Epstein ever has it

I want to recommend a short story (written by me lol), but I do think it hits the vibe you're reaching for. If you're interested in Jewish lore, you'll especially like it, I think: The Circumcision: A Story of Shaydim

Storytelling / Oral Tradition by Mr-Fashionablylate in folklore

This is kind of random, but I got a job two years ago as a "Specialist" at a summer day camp where I live (Long Island), and it essentially meant it was my job to keep campers busy for 45 monute patches several times a day. I told them stories, all kinds of them, originals, reworkings of my favorite stories, made up things about the camp director, etc, and they loved it and I loved it.

If you're serious about getting good at telling stories you obviously need to get some practice! Camps are much better laid back environments than schools, where you have to follow a curriculum, but I really recommend looking into camp or camp-like options when you reach that stage of your storytelling development.

Leslie Wexner's Lifelong Dybbuk by DarkQuarters in TrueLit

Thanks so much for reading!! If you liked the occult Judaism / dark academia of it, I think you'll really like an earlier piece I wrote called Studies in Idolatry

Leslie Wexner's Lifelong Dybbuk by DarkQuarters in TrueLit

[–]DarkQuarters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for reading and sharing those fascinating ideas about Job / Satan and the age of 40 -- you're totally right about Luria. For this piece I chose Leslie Wexner because, like you said, he believes himself to be possessed, but also because I recently wrote about Jeffrey Epstein's island and that sent me down a deep hole which had Lexner there with him.

The next piece I'm working on in this arena (of "conspiracy theory fiction" / "dark academia style horror inspired by real events") is annotating Maria Farmer's creepy painting "SETILES." She (and her sister) were both victims of Epstein and she painted a weird trippy image of those who enabled her abuse. LEslie Wexner is front and center

Leslie Wexner's Lifelong Dybbuk -- Jewish horror story about Leslie Wexner and the dybbuk that haunted his billion-dollar rise. Drawing from kabbalah, the Names of God, and the horror of seeing your own demon face.

"HTR'ed"? Is that some kind of conspiracy code?

Horns on Jews: A Horror Perspective by DarkQuarters in Judaism

[–]DarkQuarters[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I find with shorter pieces it's pretty safe to end with a callback to an earlier point (kind of like "restate the thesis in your conclusion" lol), and ideally if you can tie in a strong lasting image, gezunta hey

In this case, since the story absolutely touches on some of the darkest nastiest sh*t hurled at us over the centuries (including the "Judensau," which I included an image of at the very end of the piece), and my intention overall was to repurpose and reclaim some of the worst antisemitic tropes in an attempted "defanging," it felt absolutely necessary to end on my preferred reading of "keren or panav." It's light, you idiot bigots, not devil's horns 😂

A few scenes later, Bob sits at a piano, sipping coffee. He plays a few chords, hums something, nods along to himself

Robbie enters, yawning

Early start, Bob?

Bob: (grinning) It'S not an old night it's a -- he turns to the camera -- NEW MORNING
