Reviews

""This book is a Russian doll full of surprises. Discovery follows discovery. Literary criticism turns into philosophy, philosophy into psychology, psychology into sociology, and back to the outset. Given truths collapse, certainties crash. Could there be a better way to talk about ordinary horror?""--Gabriele Pedullà, Scuola Normale Superiore ""Whoever travels with Capra through the galaxy of horror experiences how a literary study transforms into a philosophical treatise. By interpreting human existence as the arena of an inevitable Being-towards-horror, Capra demonstrates how scholarly contemplation can become an exercise of immersion into the dark sublime.""--Peter Sloterdijk, University of Art and Design Karlsruhe
