Re: Malpertuis

Apologies. I don't post here that often anymore, or anywhere for that matter. The plague year is slowing everything down to a crawl when not hysterically speeding things up. Hope everyone's doing...

Re: Homage Volumes You Would Like to See

Looking at the old comments, thinking of Borges and Machen. The great Borges’ own ‘Ibn Hasan Bukhari murdered in his Labyrinth’ reads a bit like a Machen tale, with Dunraven & Unwin standing in for...

For those of you who might like that sort of thing: i have a little adaptation of Machen's Midsummer in the exhibition catalogue to curator Una Hamilton-Helle's Waking The Witch project:

Re: Interview on theology and horror

Well, that makes sense & i certainly would not disagree.

Worship and prayer, in a way, are highly stylized & compressed ways of keeping the event ongoing.

Yet the desire to shape the future is...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

Ha ha. I am interested in whether or not it's true. I'm fairly sure, given our different positions on how best to seek truth, that I care more about what's true than you do.[/QUOTE]

Re: Interview on theology and horror

Living daily with the societal impact of a very particular kind of calvinism i must admit to somewhat of a negative bias here, but even beyond that i am always quite frankly surprised how far...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

@mr. Veech

Thank you for that concise elucidation. Since i requested it purely out of well-meaning curiosity and genuine interest, it would seem terribly impolite to use it a springboard for...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

Re: Interview on theology and horror

A common misconception ( even among the religious ) is, to my mind, the idea that holy scripture provides proof of its own truth. It would frankly be weak logic to claim it did. If anything, it...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

The problem with authority is that if one claims something has authority one inevitably claims some kind of authority over that very authority by being an authorizing agent to it. In monotheistic...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

Compassion seems an innately Christian thing when compared to the child sacrifices of religions preceding it. In any case it features very little in the Roman and Greek state religions. But then the...

Re: Thoughts on being a writer on Greydogtales

One could substitute a lot of things for ‘writing’ ( as a way to worship the ego) in that last sentence, and the claim would hold. Parenthood, ‘holding down a job,’religion, atheism and a great many...

Re: Thoughts on being a writer on Greydogtales

Weaveworld is rather feuilletonesque, with its short, fast-paced chapters. He’s trying out stuff there that later he’ll do better in Imajica. I thought the idea, in Imajica, of London as a...
