    Lurid rumours claim that the boys’ deformity is inevitable owing to the circumstances of their conception since a ‘German collector of birds’ or ‘a taxidermist’ raped their mother, as if that crime could shape what emerged from the womb. Unspeakable acts can produce equally unnatural gifts.

    Зловещие слухи утверждают, что уродство мальчиков неизбежно из-за обстоятельств их зачатия, поскольку "немецкий коллекционер птиц" или "таксидермист" изнасиловал их мать, как будто это преступление могло повлиять на то, что появилось из утробы.

    Transformation, which is the monster’s whole game, simultaneously altering their bodies and changing the surrounding culture like radioactive fall-out, is a mode of catharsis, along with a strategy for abjuring a body that feels way too vulnerable or out of control.

    The kids in the video for Aphex Twin’s ‘Come to Daddy’ (1997) (directed by Chris Cunningham) have a wonderful time, terrorizing the same London estate that Alexander de Large roams in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange

    A monster is a fear assuming a form.
