Greetings Everyone!
It is now a New Year and I hope that all of you will develop resolutions that will make this year better than the last! I hope, also, that you will put those resolutions into practice and be happy and productive!
My book, Horror as Racism in H. P. Lovecraft: White
Fragility in the Weird Tales, was recently published by Bloomsbury! Please check it out!
The book, in particular, studies how Lovecraft uses
his racial hatred creatively by developing racist images and narratives to
advocate for his xenophobic, political beliefs: western civilization is in
decline due to unrestrained immigration, miscegenation and hybridism; and,
slavery is not only endemic, but justifiable among superior civilizations,
especially the white, Anglo-Saxon civilizations.
There is no writer in the English language, and
certainly, no writer of comparable magnitude to Lovecraft, who even attempts to
do such a thing. It is, quite literally,
an unprecedented phenomenon.
