MODERNITY BEGAN WITH THE DISINTEREST AND APATHY OF COSMIC HORROR—BUT THE 21ST CENTURY HAS LED US SOMEWHERE FAR DARKER.

For the April ‘21 ‘Cosmic Horror’ themed issue of Blood Knife magazine, I wrote about a subgenre of existential terror I’ve been thinking a lot about lately: Gnostic Horror.

https://bloodknife.com/gnostic-horror-fall-into-history/

“I once knew a man who claimed that, overnight, all the solid shapes of existence had been replaced by cheap substitutes. Trees made of poster board. Houses built of colored foam. Whole landscapes composed of hair clippings. His own flesh, he said, was now just so much putty.”

— Thomas Ligotti, The Mystics of Muelenburg

Gnostic Horror and the Fall into History - Blood Knife The combination of cosmic horror and gnostic thought is a perfect embodiment of modernity's dark antipathy to human life and human misery.

I’m still working on the next episode(s) and dealing with some family stuff! Here’s some magnificent Herder’s Hill fanart I received from the incredible Boris Bashirov ( https://instagram.com/mrfinnfromkadath?igshid=sexlwqnw09bj ) on Instagram!

Hey Facebook Peeps,
Just letting you guys know I’m well into the recording phase on Zeitgeist, the next Grimoire Nights episode. I took the last few months to just work on revising it (it’s going to be longer than Herder’s Hill at 18k words.) It should scratch the itch of anybody who wanted more occultism out of the first few episodes... Part one should drop sometime soon along with an article about horror fiction that I’ve written that should release pretty soon!

The new episode of Grimoire Nights is about an anchorite in second century Egypt. These ascetic monks lived in solitude, often residing in caves or ancient pagan tombs on the outskirts of society. Polemical texts of this period speak of sages fighting pagan ‘demons’ in the ruins.

In ‘The Parable of the Weighed Hearts,’ a monk in third century Egypt visits a hermit living in an ancient pagan tomb...

In the The Parable of the Weighed Hearts, I took inspiration from the two famous screaming mummies out of Egypt: Prince Pentawer, the son of Ramses II who was hung and disgraced for plotting a coup, and a woman named Meritamen, who suffered from atherosclerosis that contorted her face after death.

The inspiration for the newest episode, ‘The Parable of the Weighed Hearts’ came when I was studying Coptic language and literature in university. In particular, I found a polemical text in which a monk compels a mummy to describe its dissatisfaction with the afterlife. - https://copticliterature.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/coptic-death-and-afterlife-5-saint-pisentius-encounter-with-a-hellene-mummy-and-a-conversation-on-death-and-afterlife/amp/
