The Living Dark Reader, No. 2, Is Now Available
The second issue of The Living Dark Reader is now available at my Living Dark newsletter.
This issue clocks in at nearly 100 pages and gathers essays, reflections, fragments, and related materials for slower, quieter reading away from the restless currents of the live online world. Its themes include longing, selfhood, anomalous experience, language, writing, and artificial intelligence.
The anchor essay is “The Autumn Longing,” an extended meditation on the transcendent longing of sehnsucht that has been nearly two decades in the making. Other essays explore the self that remains beyond our worldviews, the witness behind the stories we inhabit, sleep paralysis and the boundaries between science and the supernatural, and the alchemical power of words in the age of AI.
The issue is available as a PDF for paid subscribers to The Living Dark. You can read the announcement and find the download link here:
