Hello Fediverse! Feels good to be back! With this account I hope to make my small contributions in #romance #horrorliterature research and the #discourse around #horror, #fear, the #uncanny and #affect in general, but also to share some thoughts on the current political and philosophical discourse concerning #affecttheory #psychoanalysis #existentialism and #cosmotechnics
Writing primarily in ENG and GER but also in RU, IT, PT, ESP and maybe even FR!
"The Vampyre" (1819) by John William Polidori is the progenitor of the romantic vampire archetype in horror literature. Unlike many other vampires, Lord Ruthven can be killed by conventional weapons. However, if moonlight falls on his corpse, Ruthven comes back to life.
"Two yards of loose earth was the sole barrier between us. I said to myself - 'I'll have her in my arms again! If she be cold, I'll think it is this north wind that chills me; and if she be motionless, it is sleep.'"
- Emily Brontë, "Wuthering Heights"
Fritz Eichenberg
"And then I thought I heard a thriller, steadier note that was not from the viol; a calm, deliberate, purposeful, mocking tone from far away in the West.... Unimagined space alive with motion and music, and having no semblance of anything on Earth."
- H. P. Lovecraft, "The Music of Erich Zann" Dean Stuart

One of the most divisive books in King's canon, though mostly an extended appreciation of Tabitha, it's Lisey's Story.
