  "description": "I am a bottomless pit of sin. Nostalgia and memory are such a funny thing. The further you get from events, the more they fade, become blurry and linger as feelings. Certain moments stand out, sure, but they're often surrounded by a glow or a shadow. I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s so I can't claim to be nostalgic about the specific period in which this or the original The Black Phone are set, but it feels close. There's no ever present connection, there's personal connection and an analogue phone is at the heart of it. Remember pay phones? Phone booths? Simpler times. Unless they're channeling heaven and hell, but that's a pretty rare occurrence. It's smart phones that are persistent portals to hell. Finney's haunted by what happened to him, Gwen's delightfully foul mouthed and concerned. They're both haunted by what happened to their mother. That's all you have, I suppose. What you remember, how it's shaped you and who you know yourself to be. Even The Grabber knows that. The Grabber is, naturally, condemned to hell (as he should be) and expounds upon the way in which it tears away at you until only the worst is left. I imagine there was little tearing to be done. He draws his power from his victims, from that past and that darkness. Freeing those victims from where he left them robs him of his power. It's interesting that this felt like the closing of a chapter while opening the door for many more entries. Perhaps the Blakes are done, but I imagine you'll hear your phone ring and I'll be on the other end of the line, talking to you about Black Phone 9.",
