Providence 4: Lovecraft Out of Bounds
The communal play that defined the early growth of Lovecraft’s myth-cycle is often celebrated as a pioneering experiment in collaborative fiction. Yet, from a hauntological perspective, it represents the precise mechanism of the canon’s undoing. By actively inviting his inner circle of correspondents to borrow his fictional books, locations, and entities, Lovecraft created a shared world that was…
Nobody’s Odyssey
The internet is a funny old place. I don’t engage much these days. I blog elsewhere on WordPress and make the odd post here and there, but it’s very much lost its sheen. Social Media is doing its best to turn us into hate-filled, isolated monsters, and the world is rapidly becoming the very thing that E.M. Forster warned us about in ‘The Machine Stops.’ Haven’t read it? Read it! Now! Before it’s…
Providence 3: Lovecraft Out of Space
If we apply the lens of psychogeography to Lovecraft’s Providence, we stop viewing the setting as mere backdrop for cosmic indifference and instead see the urban environment as an active participant in the haunting. The city operates as a palimpsest where every layer of history is not recorded but physically felt by the observer. Lovecraft performed a kind of involuntary psychogeography long…

The Dead Web: How the Internet Became the Largest Ruin in Human History
I adore Godzilla films, whether the original Toho productions or the more recent Legendary Monsterverse incarnations. Especially Mothra who, along with the Groke, I see as my spirit animal. During the heyday of GeoCities, a small website called The Church of Mothra appeared. It treated Mothra as a curious blend of the Virgin Mary and Mother Earth of the kaiju universe, an absurd theological joke…

Lovecraft Out of Time
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward offers the most coherent architecture of hauntological failure in the Lovecraftian canon. Ward is not a mere antiquarian; he is an agent of the unburied past. His research into the life and deeds of his ancestor, Joseph Curwen, is an archival endeavour that goes beyond simple historical recovery. It is a fundamental disruption of the present. Ward treats the…
Providence: Introduction - The Haunter of the Drift
Providence is an series of essays that are nominally about HP Lovecraft. You find out why ‘nominally’ fits as the essays go on. This is the introduction essay. The rest will turn up inbetween other post as that many essays on one topic might be tiresome if they come all at once. That said, the next couple of posts will be ‘Chapter One’ followed by something else entirely. Haunter of the…
Estate Agents of Doom, or, Scooby Doo vs. the 1%
The cultural artefact known as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? represents a sustained and surprisingly rigorous interrogation of the late twentieth century landscape. To the casual observer, the first two seasons appear as mere Saturday morning diversions, yet a closer examination reveals a profound meditation on the nature of the suburban uncanny. The series operates within a world ghosted by the…
X-Men: Ghosts of Genomes Past - Part Three
Why the X-Men Never End — memory, seriality and myth. The mutant past is perpetually reimagined, transforming history into a shifting landscape of retroactive continuity. This instability of memory provides an exquisite metaphor for the precarious nature of mutant identity. If the genetic code is a text that can be edited, then the history of the species becomes subject to the editorial pen. The…

X-Men: Ghosts of Genomes Past - Part Two
Haunting the Present — politics, surveillance and control. The paradoxes of mutant time are embodied in the recurring figure of the future mutant who returns to warn of a catastrophe yet to occur. The mutant lives within a temporal loop, unable to fully inhabit the present because they are perpetually haunted by futures they have already witnessed. Every struggle with their powers becomes a…
X-Men: Ghosts of Genomes Past - Part One
The Haunted Genome — biology and identity. The X-Men represent a particular brand of spectrality, defined less by biological deviation than by the persistent presence of a future that refuses to arrive. They are haunted by the promise of integration, a future in which the line between Homo sapiens and Homo superior dissolves into harmonious coexistence. Yet that future is always deferred. The…

The Phenomenology of Slow Time (Part Two)
This pressure is often framed as rumination, but rumination implies choice, or at least agency. Under slow time, memory behaves more like background radiation. It fills the space left by a future that has stopped pulling its weight. What’s striking is not that the past appears, but that it does so without nostalgia. These memories are not necessarily warm or desirable. They are simply available.…
The Psychology of Slow Time (Part One)
Slow time is not the absence of activity. This is usually where people start, and it’s where things immediately go wrong. Slow time is not what happens when nothing is happening. It is what happens when something continues to happen, but refuses to progress. Time remains present, insistent, and oddly demanding, while withholding any sense of movement. It does not stop. It does not end. It simply…
Weird question
Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are? We are our experience.
Coming Soon
Yeah, I’ve been a bit busy.. ‘Thresholds’ is finished but I’m holding that one back for a while, ‘Cosmic Indifference’ is about 60% done and 40% note form. ‘Bound to the System’ is something of a departure for me. Still hauntologically based but, a very, very ,very different subject. Still in the research phase. And I’ve not mentioned the novels yet…

Phantom Limbs, Withheld Worlds, and the Quatermass Experience (Part Four)
The intersection of Kneale’s work with the mechanics of the phantom limb becomes most visible through his preoccupation with systems that persist in running on invalid assumptions. This phenomenon is characterized by a structural refusal to acknowledge that the foundational logic has been withdrawn. In the Quatermass narratives, the horror is not derived from the presence of the alien, but from…
Phantom Limbs, Withheld Worlds, and the Quatermass Experience (Part Three)
In Quatermass and the Pit, Kneale’s ‘Hobbs End’ is London’s wound reopening. Agoraphobia is the private version of that reopening; the moment the body realises its access to the world is not stable. The world remains there, but it is no longer guaranteed. The contract between action and outcome becomes provisional. The future tense becomes conditional. What used to be automatic becomes something…
