Graham Harman
Weird Realism: Lovecraft and Philosophy
Winchester, UK: Zero Books, 2012

Of Mencken & Micropolitics

James Kirkpatrick

1,417 words

The rise and fall of nations and cultures is too abstract for most people. But fiction, especially that informed by journalism, can shows how the sweeping patterns of history play out the micro level. Individual stories can be just as informative as any grand history of the clash of civilizations.

H.L. Mencken, who died 57 years ago this week, was the greatest newspaperman of his age, or perhaps of any age. Read more …

Andy Nowicki
Heart Killer
London: ER Books, 2012

I would not like to be in a room with any character from Andy Nowicki’s latest novel Heart Killer. Then again, I really wouldn’t know it if I were. Andy Nowicki has written a novel about evil within, about depravity within, about horror within.

Freemasons Against the Modern World

Patrick Le Brun

5,364 words

The Masons are the focus of intense curiosity and at times controversy in France. Our main weekly news magazines have cover stories on Masonry at least twice a year, typically their best-selling editions. France is probably the only country in the world in which lodge membership is growing at a steady pace and the average age of members is stable.
