This time it's Herrick's turn to surprise Cooley with a tale, and it is "Horror Story" by Carmen Maria Machado. This beautifully written piece uses horror tropes to express the fear of lost connection and passion. So if you've ever misplaced your saffron only to find the remnants in your bra or discovered that your bottle of One A Days was filled with nails, then boy are you going to relate!   Text of "Horror Story": https://granta.com/horror-story/
