Another winner. Great nonfic from Strantzas on juxtaposition and from Peak, disguised as fiction, on ontology. Killer stories by Say, Kuryla, Humphrey and excellent bookends from Demchuk and Klausner (both on identity juxtaposed with ontology, actually)

Resharing this because I feel like I've raised my head above water finally. Got to write a piece for this that was probably the most fun I had, trying to pay homage to Ligotti's story-turned-essay format. I could analyse the AMAZING authors in this AS WELL as ramble about random theories--the DREAM
