Summary

This quote suggests that the television show 'American Horror' presents a distorted and unsettling representation of suburban family life, reflecting the dark and disturbed imagination of a socially disconnected child from the 1970s. It implies that the show taps into the fears and anxieties associated with suburban life, purposefully highlighting its degradation and portraying it in a manner that is disturbing and horrific. Through this lens, 'American Horror' effectively portrays unnerving aspects of domesticity, deviating from the typical idyllic image often associated with suburban families.

I also remember the moment my life changed, the moment I finally said, I've had it! I know I'm much more than I'm demonstrating mentally, emotionally, and physically in my life.
