1. Tentacles longer than night
The vast and seething cosmos (Poe, Lovecraft)
On supernatural horror (A personal history)
I can't believe what I see, I can't see what I believe
2. Meditations on the demonic
On Hell (Dante's Inferno)
Dead tropes, resurrected bodies
Only that which falls can rise again
3. Meditations on the Gothic
Book of beasts (Lautréamont's Maldoror)
Tooth and claw, flesh and blood
The bliss of metamorphosis
Against literature, against life
Eaten alive or buried alive
Dreams of the cephalophore
4. Meditations on the weird
Frozen thought (Blackwood, Lovecraft)
The logic of the supernatural
We are not from here (Ligotti)
The wandering philosopher
The world becomes a phantom
An argument for the categorical imperative
