AMMDI is an open-notebook hypertext writing experiment, authored by Mike Travers aka mtraven. It's a work in progress and some parts are more polished than others. Comments welcome! More.
Nice side-by-side comparison of PKD and Lovecraft, except for the stupid "Dicklove" name.
PF described a category of fiction that sort of reaches out of the page and warps you, PKD being the archetype...this sounds a lot like Erik Davis theory.
Ghost stories vs. Weird fiction – the former present an intrusion of the supernatural into a stable world (which is eventually banished generally). The latter present a character discovering that the world he inhabits is fundamentally strange at its foundations. Ghost stories suture the wound, the weird writer leaves you bleeding (or gives you an infection).
Weird fiction doesn't actually have or emphasize narrative, given they are trying to describe this timeless thing. So not much distance between pulp and avant garde.
Sloterdijk's immunology and cancer...cancer as a betrayal from within, no buffering will help you. In Lovecraft, the buffer collapses.
What is cancer? Crabs are monstrous, also a symbol of the unconscious because they walk sideways and seem so inhuman...so cancer is a Great Old One (OK, now I'm going to think of PICI as Charles Stross Laundry, where nerdy wizards deploy math weapons against eldritch monsters).
