Episode 203: Kristeva vs. Lovecraft on Horror and Abjection (Part Two)

Concluding on Julia Kristeva's Powers of Horror (1980) and focusing on H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928). Does Lovecraft's presentation of nameless terror capture (or improve upon) what Kristeva means by "abjection"?

End song: "The Other" by Mark Lint feat. Lucy Lawless from Mark's Lint's Dry Folk.
