![]() ![]() Being one of those few who suspect that rather the opposite is true, that is, that there is no inherent meaning and order within Universe, Lovecraft built his stories around instances wherein the Nomos is forced into a contact with an extra-nomic element which deconstructs the former’s self-proclaimed notion of being the source and origin of reality as such. The problem however is that the Nomos is prone to a totalizing immanent hegemony of positing the whole of Being as only what the Nomos deems it to be – meaningful, ordered, recognizable, anthropocentric – thereby suppressing anything that exists outside of it, as evidenced by mankind conceiving other entities as well as other modes of reality in a priori similar-to-human, and thus relatable, terms. ![]() Its core argument revolves around Peter Berger’s concept of Nomos, a human-constructed world, that mankind is existentially necessitated to create. ![]() The purpose of this thesis is the analysis of the key works of the American author and founder of the so-called “weird” fiction Howard Philips Lovecraft in terms of their incorporation of the notion of ontological Negativity. ![]()

Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. She proves that on her first day of her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop.

They reflect the journey our protagonist, Auren, takes in order to get to know herself and get in touch with her true nature. “ The Plated Prisoner” as the chosen name for the whole series perfectly encapsulates what every single book explores. ![]() I’m not losing faith in her just because I didn’t like “ Glow.” The Plated Prisoner Series Believe me, I will be impatiently waiting for the next book no matter my opinion of the previous ones. Moreover, being this one of my favorite stories, it’s difficult when the latest book turned out disappointing to me-again with all my respect to Raven Kennedy. This said, I have to be true to my opinion, too. It’s a huge responsibility, one I take seriously. ![]() ![]() I know the power of words, in this case, how reviews could potentially affect authors. I know how hard it is to make a story come true, to have the courage to put ideas into words and manage to publish a 300/400-words piece of art. Why is it difficult to review? I highly respect writers. ![]() ![]() He had to work at a grocery store to earn enough money to make it back to New York.
