Shrnutí
Lovecraftovy hororové příběhy jsou dnes brány nejen jako literární klasika, ale také se postupem času staly vlivným kultem okultismu. Mýtus Cthulhu, Prastaří a Nevyslovitelná jména jsou evokováni, uctíváni a respektováni různými esoterickými proudy a u některých tvoří dokonce pomyslné jádro jejich magického učení. Tato esej má za cíl zkoumat nejvýznamnější řády, jednotlivce a doktríny, co se v minulosti zaobírali či se pořád ještě zaobírají Mýtem Cthulhu. (more…)

The Horror Beneath
Independently published, 2023“Whatever the history of the house, Wingood felt confident that von Hallerstein had not been carried off by vengeful spirits. No, von Hallerstein was too substantial a man for that.”
How this excellent novella reached my hands is a story that must be told! (more…)

1,685 wordsAfter reading Doug Huntington’s insightful review of It Follows, David Robert Mitchell’s excellent horror film, I watched the movie for the first time. Set in Detroit, its austere, derelict cityscape was an eerie amalgam of crumbling industry and disused grandeur which was juxtaposed with a near-idyllic white suburbia.
Detroit’s dark inner-city denizens, distant shambling creatures, are relegated to the background; they are viewed in passing from afar by the film’s main characters as they drive into the city in search of answers. (more…)

I had just begun to doubt some of my strongest convictions when I stumbled upon [Colin Wilson’s The Outsider]. But rather than being wrong, I think that I just don’t express my rightness correctly. — Hunter S. Thompson (more…)

Dr. Robert M. Price is a prominent New Testament scholar and an eldritch mage of the Lovecraft cult. With such a range of interests, he is obviously a believer in free expression, free thought, and engagement with as many perspectives as possible. These days, such qualities are rarely found in either the academic or literary fields, and he has been “de-platformed” from time to time, most recently from two YouTube podcasts. (more…)

1,194 wordsThough he has a dedicated fan base from Twitter, Zero HP Lovecraft’s (ZHPL) long-form writing allows us to experience his words beyond a mere 280 characters. This is not to suggest that the extreme short form doesn’t have its merits, but for those who need more, ZHPL’s stories have a profound delivery. (more…)

2,752 wordsI have been reading the work of H. P. Lovecraft, who passed away on March 15, 1937, longer than that of any other author. I still own my copy of a book which, appropriate to Lovecraft, is itself a mystery. My name is inscribed on the inside cover, and I would have been about 13 when I read this opening sentence: “North of Arkham the hills rise dark, wild, and wooded, and much overgrown, an area through which the Miskatonic flows seaward, almost at one boundary of the wooded tract.” (more…)

Lovecraftova země
1,084 slovEnglish original here
V posledních letech roste mezi některými příznivci tvorby H. P. Lovecrafta úzkost, jak skloubit svou lásku k mýtu Cthulhu s Lovecraftovými názory na rasu. Seriálové televizní zpracování románu Matta Ruffa Lovecraft Country (2016, česky Lovecraftova země, Baronet, 2018) přináší jedno z možných řešení tohoto dilematu: aplikovat Lovecraftovu mimozemskou hrůzu na bělochy. Seriál, na jehož vzniku se podíleli mimo jiné nechvalně známý J. J. Abrams a režisér Get Out (Uteč!) Jordan Peele, měl premiéru 16. srpna. (more…)

A thought has been lurking in the back of my mind for some time.
In terms of fiction, and even outside it (with the notable exception of H. P. Lovecraft), were certain authors reflexively embraced as soul mates by white conservatives and racialists, in reality . . . anti-white — out of “principle,” opportunism, or just unconsciously? (more…)

The Exham Cycle
Selma, North Carolina: Exham Priory, 2020The de la Poer madness was so singular, opening up new lines of inquiry into the much-debated question of ancestral memory, that no men of the psychological sciences could in good conscience fail to try to resolve it. (more…)
