Jan Kjellin reviewed The Spectacle of the Void by David Peak
Review of 'The Spectacle of the Void' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I think I came to the conclusion that [b:In the Dust of This Planet|11944741|In the Dust of This Planet (Horror of Philosophy, #1)|Eugene Thacker|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348583638s/11944741.jpg|16906202] was more about writing in the spirit of so called "new wierd", than being "new wierd" itself. This little pamphlet by David Peak roughly fits the same description.
While offering a couple of reading suggestions, Peak doesn't really add much to what [a:Eugene Thacker|264509|Eugene Thacker|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1415488471p2/264509.jpg] has already said (or written). And even if I do feel inspired and have been given perhaps a little more insight in the overall thematic of "new wierd", I also feel the disillusionment of someone who has tried to glimpse into the void, only to realize it was all cardboard and piano wire.
Or was it?
Hm... Maybe I should take another peek?
