“It's not a bad idea to call this Cthulhuism & Yog-Sothothery of mine "The Mythology of Hastur" - although it was really from Machen & Dunsany & others, rather than through the Bierce-Chambers line, that I picked up my gradually developing hash of theogony - or daimonogony. Come to think of it, I guess I sling this stuff more as Chambers does than as Machen & Dunsany do - though I had written a good deal of it before I ever suspected that Chambers ever wrote a weird story!” ThinkingDoeIdeasStoriesStuffLinesDealsWrittenMinesMythologyDevelopingChamberBad IdeasHash Author:H.

“Literature is conscious mythology: as society develops, its mythical stories become structural principles of story-telling, its mythical concepts, sun-gods and the like, become habits of metaphoric thought. In a fully mature literary tradition the writerenters intoa structure of traditional stories and images.” StoriesLiteraturePrinciplesSunHabitConsciousConceptsTraditionStructureMythologyTraditionalMatureMetaphoricSun God Author:Northrop Frye

“When I first encountered the poems of Jon Woodward, I was stunned into the state that is my life's joy-I was in the presence of the inimitable. Uncanny Valley extends that experience-almost into another dimension. These apocalyptic, pixilated poems forge a mythology of our ravaged culture, one that might have been written in the future. If you want poetry to give you a persimmon on a plate, look elsewhere; if you want to know what happens when seven trees fall on the highway and the story is told by a stutterer, this is the book, and it could only have been written by Woodward.” IfsKnowsWantGivingFirstsLooksHas BeensBookStatesStoriesMightHappensJoyFallCultureWrittenTreeSevenMythologyDimensionsValleysElsewherePlatesMight Have BeenHighwaysApocalypticStunnedUncanny Author:Mary Ruefle
“The Greeks used to use the same stories, the same mythology, time after time, different authors. There was no premium placed upon an original story, and indeed, Shakespeare likewise. A lot of people wrote plays about great kings. They didn't expect a brand-new story. It was what that new author made of the old story. It is probably the same now. We disguise it by inventing what seem to be new stories, but they're basically the same story anyway.” PeopleMadeDifferentPlayStoriesUseSeemsUsedKingsOriginalsMythologyBrandsGreekDisguiseInventingBrand NewPremium Author:Arthur Miller
