![]() ![]() ![]() Once past the exposition-heavy first chapters, Allie's voice grows appealing and authoritative, while other missteps-blog posts are wrongly called “blogs,” and what self-respecting music snob would omit Johnny Marr’s tenure in Modest Mouse from a sentence cataloguing his long career?-are annoying, but ultimately trifling quibbles. ![]() Allie’s blogging success helps her move from a cantankerous intolerance for iPods to an age-appropriate adoption of the digital-culture tools that help her keep her beloved music alive. On the side, Allie goes undercover with best friend Kit to prove that Kit’s rocker boyfriend Niles is a faithless jerk, handles her mother’s re-entry into the dating scene with grace and humor and nurses a serious crush on M, a newcomer who turns out to be extremely dangerous. Her blog and fanzine channel her obsessive theories, enthusiasms and knowledge, all fueled by her job at Bob & Bob’s, a legendary and now fading record store on Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue. Allie is devoted to musicians in every genre, as long as their tunes were pressed onto vinyl. ![]()

He brings in the horror genre, which to my mind is not unhuman at all.

Interesting jumble, ending on a hopeful note "Thacker's discourse on the intersection of horror and philosophy is utterly original and utterly captivating." (Thomas Ligotti, author of The Conspiracy Against the Human Race) ![]() Likewise, Thacker takes horror to mean something beyond the focus on gore and scare tactics, but as the underappreciated genre of supernatural horror in fiction, film, comics, and music. In Thacker's hands, philosophy is not academic logic-chopping instead, it is the thought of the limit of all thought, especially as it dovetails into occultism, demonology, and mysticism. In the Dust of This Planet explores these relationships between philosophy and horror. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live - a central motif of the horror genre. In this book, Eugene Thacker suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() van Kesteren PC, Zwart PE, Schaap MM, Pronk TE, van Herwijnen MH, Kleinjans JC, Bokkers BG, Godschalk RW, Zeilmaker MJ, van Steeg H, Luijten M. ![]() īenzopyrene-induced transcriptomic responses in primary hepatocytes and in vivo liver: Toxicokinetics is essential for in vivo-in vitro comparisons.
