Re: Rest in peace, Mark Samuels

I just got a hard copy of The Man Who Collected Machen on the cheap. I remember reading it as an ebook (along with The White Hands) November/December of 2016 and being amazed. He really made me want...

The Check-Up

He reached for the dial and turned it to the public radio station; they were doing the national news:

Re: Neo-Decadence

Re: Twin Peaks - Series 3

I was very glad that Audrey made an appearance.
Gordon Cole's meeting with the french lady was very amusing. Any time people speak in bizarre code, I laugh. The "Lil the Dancer" scene in FWWM,...

Re: Leonid Andreyev: A Tribute Anthology

I don't like all of Andreyev's writings, but "The Abyss" and "The Red Laugh" are beyond superb.
"The Abyss" is a story of impossible cruelty and degradation.
"The Red Laugh" is pure surreal horror,...

Re: Twin Peaks - Series 3

The sinister rhyme- there's something devilishly enchanting about it-

The part about the horse probably refers to the strange white horse that appears before BOB's murders- it is white externally,...

Re: Classics Online

"Bartleby" is one of the few pieces of writing to have moved me to tears. I'm very much a fan of Melville- Moby Dick is not a novel; it's a poem.

I enjoy some of Hawthorne's stories very much,...

Re: Twin Peaks - Series 3

Just looked it up- Ligotti mentions it in the interview titled "Disillusion Can Be Glamorous."

My theory isn't so outlandish after all! Lynch influences Ligotti, who influences Lynch in return....

Re: Twin Peaks - Series 3

Laura Palmer's disappearance from the black lodge was very ligottian- akin to how Mr. Vizniak disappears in "The Clown Puppet." An unlikely conjecture, but perhaps Lynch was alluding to Ligotti?

Re: Twin Peaks - Series 3

I really like the Dougie subplot. It's necessary comic relief; if the show was unremitting surreal horror I wouldn't be able to watch; the black lodge sequence almost gave me a panic attack.

Btw,...

Re: The William Hope Hodgson thread

tbh, a first-person narrative seems realer if it has the occasional grammatical error and idiosyncrasy of diction. Someone writing a diary about their encounters with the supernatural (which may be...

Re: What is the saddest short story you've ever read?

I would like to second "A Room Forever," as well as just about anything by Pancake.

Re: What is the saddest short story you've ever read?

Chekhov's story, "In the Ravine," moved me to tears. The detective son who loses his faith, commits counterfeiting, and is sent to prison; his wife, who has her infant scalded to death by her sister...

Re: The William Hope Hodgson thread

I had a similar experience with M.R. James. It took me some time to adapt to what I initially saw as stilted prose. Aickman, on the other hand, wrote with such clarity that I was able to jump right...

Re: Julius Evola

My mistake, you're right I conflated Cioran with Celine-I do that for some reason; but the story remains essentially the same-not a Nazi, a burn out with white guilt-the story of the post war west. I...
