If the literature isn't centered around darkness or light, speaking metaphorically here, I can't read it with sincerity. Almost everything outside of horror and children's literature feels disingenuous to me. I don't know why, but it started happening after my past-life recollection, which genetic testing afterwards verified. I feel stories that center around a simple good or evil dichotomy, or one side at the expense of the other, are superior to those who try to deal with ambiguities.
Does anyone else have this preference?

What horror and children's fiction do you particularly read that interests you?

are you saying you remembered being someone else in a past life, and then somehow tested the DNA of you and that person... and it was a match? what the fuck am I reading?

For children's literature it's works like The Secret Garden, Wind in the Willows, and a lot of picture books.
For horror it's works like Ligotti, Aickman, Les Chants de Maldoror, and a couple of others.
I also had one horror story published, and I am a picture book artist. My mind cannot take anything outside of duality seriously.

I was an Assyrian Nestorian Christian who converted to Zoroastrianism during Sassanian times after losing an argument with a mobed. I also personally met some of Shahanshahs. My paternal haplogroup is very common among Assyrians and Armenians of Sasun rather than Persians.

Since I became interested in religion I have felt similarly. It just seems obvious that a sort of Empedoclean dualism of good and bad is the basis of our reality. I've read quite a few Monist perspectives and they have never made sense to me.
