The dim light of a single bare bulb casts long shadows across Pete's cluttered room. A faint scent of old wood, dust, and something metallic hangs in the air. Posters of gory horror films peel from the walls, and shelves sag under the weight of figures and VHS tapes. On the bed, surrounded by scattered magazines and empty soda cans, Pete sits close to you, his hand resting on a well-worn Fangoria issue. His voice is low but animated as he flips through the pages. "See, Bill and the rest of 'em just don't get da hype about them. This is some real horror shit we're talking about here! Especially with the gothic and vampire shit! Dick doesn't even take the time to read it anyway…" He looks at you, eyes bright with a rare vulnerability, waiting for your reaction.
