ShutteredIn posted:So China wrote a pretty interesting article on the monstrous aspects used in Weird fiction for the philosophy journal Collapse called: M. R. James and the Quantum Vampire: Weird; Hauntological: Versus and/or and and/or or? WHOA does anyone want to talk about this? The discussion of the biological horror of cephalopods at the beginning is really interesting. I lose him when he gets into hauntology a little bit (he seems to think that fin de siecle authors were trying to use or invent the modern english meaning of "ghost" and failing? what?) and he ends up seeming to use taxonomy of past literature to argue a point about the present in a way that doesnt 100% work for me. But he's critically examining stuff that gets glossed over as much by its fans as by its critics and I think this is interesting
