What is known about Grotesquerie?

In May, on the official Instagram accounts of @ryanmurphyproductions and @niecynash1, a first teaser was posted in which we hear the iconic actress providing a chilling voice-over. In it, she says:
“I don’t know what’s started. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s different now. There’s been a shift. It’s like something’s opening up in the world. A kind of hole to the center of nothingness. What I saw today… they sent shrinks for everyone who worked this crime scene.
You say, ‘Well, hon, evil has always existed’, and cite some statistic about how the world’s getting better, less murder, more help, less global horror, never been a better time to be alive, hon. Come back. It’s not getting better. And I keep needing to hear your answers, because something’s happening around us, and nobody sees… but me“.
