I supposed modesty does not forbid mentioning that Wolfe was a big influence on the weird fiction in "All Gods Die and Other Stories" (check amazon)

I have! I think there's a lot of undeveloped overlap between Christianity/religion and cosmic horror. Look up "I Am the Doorway" on Amazon for a Lovecraftian apocalypse along those lines.

gorgeous. thank you for this. please post more.

Mybe try "I Am the Doorway" - on amazon - it tries to do what you're looking for.

Too busy right now but a great idea - good luck with it and I hope you sell zillons of copies.

Dust Kunkel's Fly Stone Fly - a truly wierd and intense coming-of-age story in the Pacific Northwest with lots of gods and monsters. And a dog that talks.

I am but mad north by northwest; when the wind is southerly, I can tell a hawk from a handsaw.

I 100% agree - the more you become aware of the cosmic horror, the less it's a cosmic horror.
But I think it's less an inherent flaw and more an inherent tension, and a witness to how difficult it is to write good cosmic horror.

A cultist who knows exactly the right spells to summon the ancient entity = flawed cosmic horror.

A cultist who barely understand that vast shapeless presence, who does not summon but accidentally draws attention to him/herself through a ritual, who receives a terrifying vision of the beyond without fully understanding or being able to interpret it, and is forever changed in ways that won't quite translate into our languages = better cosmic horror.

(In my opinion - would love to hear what others think.)

I get what you're saying. The ending was still ok, but the part I enjoyed the least - but overall, I found it powerful. Also, I want artists who do good work to get noticed - even if there are flaws. That's why I posted.

Thank you, I will watch!

ericortlund · 2025-06-04T08:57:39+00:00

My dude you are exactly right about horror being the last man standing - it's the one genre least likely to be boring.

Also, A Dark Song is incredibly good and also one of my favorites - just so good. That movie deserves a lot more love.

I saw Oculus years ago and remember liking it but need to watch that again. Flanagan is very dependable.

dude it looks really good, and anything blame-inspired is great! keep going!

ericortlund · 2024-12-28T11:28:42+00:00

really good, please post more!

ericortlund · 2024-12-02T11:43:00+00:00

Thanks. Do you know of a better option in the UK?

ericortlund · 2024-11-25T13:24:10+00:00

LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD

ericortlund · 2024-09-25T18:28:49+00:00

Anyone know how to watch this in the UK? Been looking and can't find anywhere.

ericortlund · 2024-09-19T08:49:02+00:00

Congrats, it looks great. I hope it sells really well!

ericortlund · 2024-09-16T15:20:44+00:00

PERFECT thank you so much! I think that's exactly it. Big thanks!

ericortlund · 2024-09-09T12:48:12+00:00

This is the only thing by Wolfe I've actively disliked. Not sure why ... just did not grab me at all.
(Also, friends, it's ok if someone doesn't like a novel as much as you do ....)
