In my book The Frank Show, Frank has a habit of recounting memories from his childhood. Books he’s read, movies he’s seen, experiences from a time long ago. The Phantom of the Opera always interested me, or maybe just Lon Chaney’s makeup. Edgar Allan Poe’s an interesting looking character if you see photos of the author, and not quite as scary as his short stories. Clowns are terrifying fullstop, especially if they’re smiling or in black and white photographs.
A few of my favourite things. Detail from The Frank Show.
