H.P. Lovecraft recently came up, I suppose you already know him. Thanks to @spaceintruderdetector I offered his complete works in Spanish last year, HERE they are in original English. Speaking to those who know his work, wouldn't an encyclopedic reference be nice to orient themselves in his concepts? Well, the aforementioned blog also offers us this:
I have previously talked about the Mothman because to me he seems like a mythical figure in that century in a similar way to Slenderman (but this one appeared last century and without copyright problems!). I don't doubt the mystery or its sightings a priori, I'm just saying that it's a pop myth… and it has appeared on the blog but I had never put the book where everything starts.
Fortunately (and once again), @spaceintruderdetector rescues us, HERE you will find access to the first thing that was told about this cryptid.
What is your reading like when it's all a book? John Keel was a mystery and UFO journalist, but he came from independent journalism, he was a hypnotist and worked for Playboy. He knows how to write and has a sense of humor, although he himself witnessed and participated in the strange events in Point Pleasant in those 60s. He was also skeptical of the fanaticism of UFO fan clubs and was always alert against scams and suggestions of his own and others.
It really is entertaining and necessary reading. You will find how some details have been exaggerated or added now, which is a tourist attraction of the city despite all the deaths related to that mystery. About the Mothman festival I already posted here and about the coincidences that made me watch the movie about this (which I already told you falls short of the case told in the book), search on my blog by clicking below for #mothman. Now I leave you with the book….

"Hatred of Capitalism" (2001) is an anthology edited by Chris Kraus and Sylvere Lotringer that compiles fundamental texts from the Semiotext(e) publishing house to commemorate its 25 years of history and the end of a cultural era. The volume fuses radical French theory (with authors such as Deleuze, Baudrillard, and Virilio) with underground culture, political activism, and American literature (including Burroughs, Assata Shakur, and Eileen Myles), offering a comprehensive view of how the publisher managed to intertwine academic thought with the punk movement and anti-capitalist resistance over three decades.
Compiled in 2001 to commemorate the passing of an era, Hatred of Capitalism brings together highlights of Semiotext(e)'s most beloved and pr
If you grew up with the same cultural references as me, you'll surely find common patterns and references in the supposedly real oral horror stories that fuel the slasher genre and shape creepypasta tropes. Do you want a book to map all of that?
@spaceintruderdetector has found one (in a stah of material!) for us to get started… you know that one of my hobbies (and vices because of how I throw myself into it like crazy) is to investigate the whys of our culture, so many thanks to him for that.
I'm not going to tell anyone anything new if I say that the theories and writings left behind by the CCRU (Cybernetic Culture Research Unit) are very complicated to understand. I'm still working on it, and chatting with @moe-hyperstition make me refresh my memory on some texts to review certain references. That's why I'm sharing some quotes from them with you last days.
@spaceintruderdetector, in his kindness, let me know that there was material about it on the Internet Archive and offered me links, so we owe this to him, as well as the Spanish edition of the compendium of their writings. We even have an audiobook version!

Why am I telling you this? Because it's true, even though it makes me feel less clever and capable of searching the internet as some might think, and because there's something we should always remember: it's ideas, influences, or chance encounters with others that shape our thinking.
And just as I recently thanked blog for its music outside the mainstream, we don't build anything or any blog on our own, but rather thanks to, and influenced by, the IRL social environment and Tumblr. Be kind, be understanding, and be grateful to those around you. Thank you all so much!
