Author: Eugene Thacker
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1782798889
Category : Philosophy

Pages : 200
Book Description
Our contemporary horror stories are written in a world where there seems little faith, lost hope, and no salvation. All that remains is the fragmentary and occasionally lyrical testimony of the human being struggling to confront its lack of reason for being in the vast cosmos. This is the terrain of the horror genre. Eugene Thacker explores this situation in Tentacles Longer Than Night. Extending the ideas presented in his book In The Dust of This Planet, Thacker considers the relationship between philosophy and the horror genre. But instead of taking fiction as the mere illustration of ideas, Thacker reads horror stories as if they themselves were works of philosophy, driven by a speculative urge to question human knowledge and the human-centric view of the world, ultimately leading to the limit of the human - thought undermining itself, in thought. Tentacles Longer Than Night is the third volume of the "horror of philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume, In The Dust of This Planet, and the second volume, Starry Speculative Corpse.

Dr Robert Maldron - Invasion of the Tentacles
Author: Hermione Chase
Publisher: Hermione Chase
ISBN: 1310962278
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Robert Maldron was a field doctor at the Battle of Gettysburg. At dusk lying mortally wounded, the dead and dying were visited by a band of traveling vampires and its leader befriended Maldron. Turning him enough for Maldron to recover, he has the life expectancy of a vampire and many of their attributes while still retaining his human identity. The vampire is one of many species that exist on the Continuum plain, a plain whose occupants have been slowly dying over millennia through a lack of quality sustenance.....blood. The Continuum council and its members were responsible for the creation of earth millions of years earlier as an experiment to guarantee much-needed quality sustenance. Blood on the Continuum plain had become infected with a virus rendering it useless, so it had to be recreated in a sustainable virus-free way in isolation, so earth and its universe was created. The experiment had been successful until modern times with the advent of human drug abuse, alcohol and blood diseases. The harvesting of human blood during periods of rest was no longer providing the required food to furnish immortality for species of the Continuum. In frustration, some species are finding access to earth without the permission of the Continuum council, access courtesy of man's mistreatment of planet earth. Access to the earth environment in an uncontrolled way causes some species to react uncharacteristically and they cause havoc and death amongst humans close to where breaches have occurred. Maldron's vampire mentor, Max Von Konstein as the Continuum representative on earth,, occasionally calls upon his help to deal with those creatures from the Continuum plain.
