Summary:  The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. The author suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live - a central motif of the horror genre. An exploration of the relationship between philosophy and horror. In Thacker's hands, philosophy is not academic logic-chopping; instead, it is the thought of the limit of all thought, especially as it dovetails into occultism, demonology, and mysticism. Thacker takes horror to mean something beyond the focus on gore and scare tactics, to the under-appreciated genre of supernatural horror in fiction, film, comics, and music. Eugene Thacker is associate professor of media studies at the New School in New York, and is scholar-in-residence at the Miskatonic University's Institute for Shoggothic Atheology in Israel.
