There is a dark aspect to human dynamics that may be neither wished away nor completely mitigated. Ashley Franz Holzmann details just several of these laws and regulations in his launch to The Laws and regulations of Nature: A Collection of Short Testimonies of Horror, Anxiousness, Tragedy and Damage before taking his viewers on a trip through the bizarre, the terrifying, and, in the end, the disturbingly real truths that underlie a lot of modern American life. Ashley makes his debut in to the horror genre with "The Stump", a tale about a day trot through the woods that quickly becomes a bloodbath, and, much as it does with the story's monster, the aroma of fear is only going to lure veteran horror viewers further through the forest. A teenager's vanity will probably cause his town to be used by a roaming swarm of insects that burst forth from his acne-riddled epidermis in "White Heads"; whole populations vanish in to the void of the Alaskan tundra in "Cup Residences"; and superiority needs the form of an murdering, sadistic girl in "Female Macbeth". But Ashley's best retellings focus less on gore and adrenaline and instead take individuals mindset as their medium, as demonstrated in "Vinyl Glasses", where viewers are helped bring into a world of troubling personality and mental disorders. Ashley's work abounds with stories in this vein, stories that pick up a hold of a common failing, such as marital friction in "Hush" or American male disappointment in "Orpheus's Whole lot", and take it to an extreme that is nevertheless not inconceivable for most people. From the mind of a man who may have experienced more than his reasonable share of humanity, The Laws and regulations of Nature is, at its finest, a description of universal thoughts of reduction, nostalgia, stress and anxiety, and soul-penetrating terror. Ashley's stories elicit empathy from his viewers and sketch them into worlds where they both acknowledge and cuddle using their fears and this leave them, in the end, more human.
