Finished reading: The Spectacle of the Void by David Peak 📚 A few months back, a few of my friends and I hashed over what themes, ideas, and tropes we wanted to explore in our Mothership game, one of which was cosmic horror. During this time, I’ve been reading, thinking, and meditating on cosmic horror, which led to this slim book. I can’t help but want to apply Peak’s horror reality to our game as a way to explore the world-without-us narratively.
“To exist is to collapse the internal into the external, to come face to face with horror.”
