Ragged Entelechy


by Fiona Webster

An entelechy is that which realizes or makes actual, what is otherwise merely
potential. This entelechy is ragged because no process is ever complete. There
is always a further unfolding.

Quotation of the Moment:

"Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth
as runniness is of the concept of jam.
We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze.
We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky,
if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood."

—Jean Baudrillard

An Essay: "Dark Currents in the Main Stream"

Do you read tacky mass-market horror paperbacks with embossed black-and-red
covers, or are you above all that? Whether you read horror fiction or not, you
may be interested in the question of whether genre horror is substantively
different from mainstream literature with horrific themes.

crime): short essays & reviews , reading lists, mail-order info, horrific art,

A Patti Smith Babelogue

"I am an American artist, and I have no guilt." The punk priestess who first hit
the scene in the 70's is back again with four recent albums, a book of prose
poetry, a complete collection of her lyrics, and rock-n-roll energy to spare.
Come into Patti's world...
Shark Mania

Sharks are another obsession of mine. They are beautiful, elegant animals, and
they are desperately in need of protection from overfishing. This site has lots
of pictures, and is a good jumping-off point for exploring shark pages on the
Web.
A Tribute to Clark Ashton Smith

Clark Ashton Smith was a poet, fantasist, and artist who is best known for the
hundred-and-some weird tales he wrote in the '30s. He was the last American
member of the décadent movement (e.g., Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Machen,
Vernon Lee, Beardsley), and a close friend and collaborator of H. P. Lovecraft.
