Two 2023 indie takes on cosmic horror, same fundamental mistake: explaining the unknowable. Older Gods turns existential dread into a character, while Gods of the Deep treats the Mythos like a checklist of references.

Finished reading Mark Fisher's 'The Weird and The Eerie.'
Really thought-provoking. I'm glad I took my time with this and read it in short chunks. I'll be drawing on these ideas for my own writing for quite some time, I think.

New OzGate post is up.Children disappeared during tornadoes.
Some returned changed.
Now the pattern is getting harder to dismiss.This entry covers prairie storm disappearances, the Dawson testimony, circular-symbol obsessions, and a darker theory about the Wizard’s true nature.

Wonderment Within Weirdness Is Weirdly an Anti-War Novel
Sometimes you write a book and only later realize what it was actually about. That might sound strange, but it happens more often than people think. Stories have a way of revealing their deeper meanings after the fact, sometimes months or even years after they are written. When I first wrote my debut novel, Wonderment Within Weirdness, I was not sitting there thinking, “I am going to write an anti-war novel.” That was not the plan. The goal was much simpler and honestly much more chaotic. […] -

Ever since this forest refused to let me go, I've been growing with it. By a careful application of my instruments, I set up the ongoing statistical analysis of this ecosystem's generalised behaviour and its tidal pulses. Even under the canopy, there's plenty of sunlight during the day to charge batteries, while the nights are dark enough for my camouflage tent to remain completely concealed. I've managed to hack an autoflowing scriptbot that excites my surroundings through my ring's emitters. It's meant to adapt and optimise for my safety under various circumstances. I believe I depend on it. Sometimes I hear growls in the distance and bioluminescent scampering about.
I keep stumbling into groves opulent with eternally ripening fruits. They make me think deeper and wander longer. I feel better than I ever did in my erstwhile youth. The way I got my days going for me is like a kind of neverending eden. I sometimes spot the birds singing their uplifting melodies... My favourite are the ones with spider-patterned heads and iridescent tail feathers. Their sounds remind me of my father's electric flute. It's almost as if I could hear him again, and I keep marching on through the verdant woods, feeling happy as a lone child on a fantastical quest.
Now, if I could only find my way out of this labyrinth of foliage... I long for human touch and to converse with another intelligent mind. Keeping a physical diary helps, though lately I noticed it writing back to me.
