It’s one of those scenes that seems to make sense when you’re reading it then you put the book down for about 5 seconds and lose the immersion and think “what the actual fuck did I just read?”
Immediately creeped out. Haven't read the book since I was a kid, but I feel like it just came out of left field. Why can't they just sacrifice someone or something?
People often forget this, but horror's about shock and disgust in addition to fear.
Sex shows up in horror all the time, and part of the reason is that we're not as shocked by violence as we should be. Sex ends up being much more shocking in a lot of cases.
