Mieville on Lovecraft

Posted on 05/24/2011 by kunzelman

I think Lovecraft is an astonishing visionary writer, and the source of his vision, in many cases, is race hatred. Now what do you do with that? Do you say, “I’m not going to read any of his stuff”? Do … Continue reading →

Lovecraft and Wells

Posted on 04/19/2011 by kunzelman

So does this sound like Lovecraft to you? I heard cries of terror and their little feet running and stumbling this way and that. I do not remember all that I did as the moon crept up the sky. I … Continue reading →

On Kill Screen #3: The Intimacy Issue

Posted on 04/06/2011 by kunzelman

I like Kill Screen. It is a magazine that pushes all my buttons in a lot of different ways. On face, it’s a small-sized print magazine about video games. But it’s so much more than that, at least for me. … Continue reading →

On King, More, and Factory Farms

Posted on 03/07/2011 by kunzelman

I just finished Stephen King’s Full Dark, No Stars. It was alright, not the best thing ever, but the first novella, “1922,” is damn near perfect. It hits all the high notes while avoiding most of the low ones. The … Continue reading →

On Awkwardness

Posted on 02/25/2011 by kunzelman

I finished Adam Kotsko’s Awkwardness yesterday. I think that it was good, if slim, and the content works for what Kotsko is doing–laying out the nature of awkwardness, how we experience it, and ways to combat (or rather, embrace) it. … Continue reading →

A Short Review of “The King of Limbs”

Posted on 02/24/2011 by kunzelman

I’ve been listening to Radiohead’s new album on repeat the past couple days. I think that it’s beautiful, and probably the first album of theirs that I have really enjoyed since Amnesiac. There’s a beautiful mix of both “technical”-feeling songs … Continue reading →

The Power of Comics

Posted on 02/23/2011 by kunzelman

I don’t read many monthly comics (I don’t have the cash), but this panel from this week’s issue of Amazing Spider-Man might force me to go out and buy one. I think this is the power of comics: the ability … Continue reading →

On Little Big Planet 2

Posted on 01/30/2011 by kunzelman

There are not very many things that get me on this blog anymore, but Little Big Planet 2 has set off some kind of crazy thoughtengine in my brain, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I am about to … Continue reading →
