Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures

[image description: an excerpt which reads:

“Hauntology, then, telepathy, the persistence of the no longer…You don’t have to believe in the supernatual to recognise that the family is a haunted structure, an Overlook Hotel full of presentiments and uncanny repetitions, something that speaks ahead of us, instead of us…”

i'm the guy who writes the books that the protagonist in supernatural horror movies frantically reads somewhere in act ii. job's pretty easy. lot of "legends of vampires have recurred all throughout human history" and "demonologists agree that the quickest way to un-summon a demon is to trap it in a cursed object". no citations of course; they don't pay me citation money. i had to learn html back in the early aughts when everyone started seeking their supernatural info on websites they found via top search engines like FINDLER and WEBSIGHT but that's died down now which is great because i didn't have it in me to pick up css. currently working on a new book about horses that are evil. it's called HORSES THAT ARE EVIL in all caps so the protagonist can find it quickly to yank off the library shelf. it will be published 35 years ago.

i feel like people would take orientalism more seriously if they realized it’s not just about how it’s like “problematic” to draw link in that one outfit or whatever but is like a perception of asian societies and cultures that has very directly aided in the horrific atrocities of imperialism and colonialism and is still everywhere today. like it’s EVERYWHERE it’s in the stupid zelda video game it’s in your favorite sci-fi and fantasy franchises it’s in the way people discuss politics and culture and history and art. once you start seeing it you cant unsee it and i think if people started seeing it they would understand why it matters
