  • Unutterable Horror
    S. T. Joshi / STJoshi

  • Romancing Fascism
    Kathleen Kerr-Koch
    Romancing Fascism argues that intellectual responsibility can only be safeguarded if criticism is mobilised both as a poetic and as a critically enlightened endeavour. In this analysis of allegory as a function of modernity, what is made clear is the difficulty, if not impossibility, of definitively determining the genealogical antecedents of intellectual trends, particularly ...

  • Channeling Wonder
    Television has long been a familiar vehicle for fairy tales and is, in some ways, an ideal medium for the genre. Both more mundane and more wondrous than cinema, TV magically captures sounds and images that float through the air to bring them into homes, schools, and workplaces. Even apparently realistic forms, like the nightly news, routinely employ discourses of “once upon a ...

  • Sex and the Cthulhu Mythos
    Bobby Derie
    H. P. Lovecraft was one of the most asexual beings in history-at least by his own admission. Whether we accept this view of his own sexual instincts or not, there is no denying that sexuality-normal and aberrant-underlies a number of significant tales in the Lovecraft oeuvre. The impregnation of a human woman by Yog-Sothoth in 'The Dunwich Horror' and the mating of humans with ...
