Reference excerpt

Our Lady of the Inferno is a novel by horror journalist and author Preston Fassel and the first officially licensed novel published by Fangoria magazine under their Fangoria Presents imprint. It was originally published by Fear Front, an independent press, in 2016, and was only briefly in print before the company closed in early 2017. In May 2018, Fangoria magazine announced that it had acquired the book and would be printing it as "Fangoria Presents #1," the inaugural entry in an imprint of branded horror novels. Set in 1983 Manhattan, the book tells the intersecting stories of Ginny Kurva, a twenty-one-year-old polymath working as a prostitute in Times Square; and Nicolette Aster, a safety inspector at Fresh Kills Landfill who moonlights as a serial killer. It received a generally positive reception, winning the 2018 Independent Publishing Award for Horror and the FANGORIA reissue being named by Bloody Disgusting as one of the 10 best horror books of 2018. Reviews tended to praise its complex treatment of female characters within the horror genre, particularly Nicolette, who received favorable comparisons to Patrick Bateman. Reviews also tended to focus positively on the book's attention to period detail, especially in evoking the 42nd Street vice district of the early 1980s. A film adaptation was in development between February 2018 and July 2020. In 2019, it was announced that Barbara Crampton would voice Nicolette in an audio drama adaptation being produced by Mark Alan Miller. The adaptation, also featuring Mick Garris and Doug Bradley, was released in 2021.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Our Lady of the Inferno

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Our Lady of the Inferno claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Our Lady of the Inferno before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Our Lady of the Inferno ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Our Lady of the Inferno

In research: Our Lady of the Inferno appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Our Lady of the Inferno in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Our Lady of the Inferno is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010s horror novels, 2016 American novels, 2016 English-language novels, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Our Lady of the Inferno outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
