Hi All: Finish MALDOROR, please, and use the H.P. Lovecraft reading to analyze the book 1 page. Here is an excerpt, and of course the whole article is available on the gaslight website (also see blog)... THE OLDEST and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form. – H.P. Lovecraft Best, -D

Check out this interactive MOMA site, which includes Redon etchings related to GERMINATIONS.

There's a blurb on monsters there too.
