What Nuns That Bite is

Mountain lodge in early winter, the radio plays static. A woman hides inside after two men leave: blood on the floor, a boot print in the dust. She flees uphill toward candlelit windows, where black habits sway. Five sisters share a crucifix and a hunger. A nun’s rosary snaps like a whip, a python coils on the altar. The postulant watches communion wafers dissolve into pebbles between fingers. A pink-hued giallo shriek, soapy and synthetic.
