Hey, everyone, I'm thelitcritguy. I co-host the horror movie podcast Horror Vanguard, have been a regular guest on Revolutionary Left Radio, and make Youtube videos on culture and aesthetics. I write on horror, capitalism, and cultural criticism (you can read my last piece here https://readpassage.com/the-horror-of-capitalism-squid-game-and-the-gothic-trap-of-debt/)

    I'm also thinking Thomas Ligotti's "The Conspiracy Against The Human Race", which is not primarily anticapitalist, but gives a very good account of the psychology of cosmic horror. I'll have to check out " In The Dust Of This Planet"

      Ligotti is a self-described socialist which makes for an interesting tension with his philosophical pessimism but I absolutely love "My Work Is Not Yet Done"
