Requesting Psychodrama Works
Yeah, that's what I'm going to call it for now, since I don't have a better name for it.
Specifically, works with characters going mad. I'd prefer if they eventually lose out to madness, but seeing characters overcome madness is nice sometimes too. It's kind of sick I'll admit, but I absolute love watching people fall to pieces or explode with psychotic violence. A good non-literature example I can think of off the top of my head would be Twisted Metal Black.
I don't know why I like insanity in works so much. It just fascinates me so much and leaves me feeling electrified. It's guaranteed to pull me into a work. Maybe it just appeals to my rarely fed sadistic side? Or maybe it's a more personal then that? I don't know but I'm unapologetic enough to ask for it by name. Thanks.
