Hmm, something that horrifies me…. to be honest, I don’t really know. I suppose blind ignorance or forced ignorance by a powerful cause is horrifying, if that counts. Being forced to withhold a certain amount of naivety because of some power ruling over you doesn’t sound fun. I don’t really think there’s much that I’ve been exposed too, at least, that truly horrifies me. There is a difference between being terrified and horrified, you see. Something may terrify me, but not horrify me. So far, I haven’t really come across anything horrifying other than like I said, blind ignorance. Or willing ignorance. That is how worlds perish, my darlings.
I have, however, never read a book with such a thing. Or at least, not with such a thing that is executed well. If you know of one, do tell.
