In the Dust of This Planet: Horror of Philosophy (Volume 1) Review: Well written - Interesting read. Review: Esoteric, Enigmatic, and Educative - Esoteric in every sense of the word. This book is a very niche exegesis on the intersection of horror and philosophy. The analysis of cultural horror genre lead this work into some theological labyrinths that require the acceptance of several layers of illusive elucidation. I enjoyed the book, but began reading under the assumption that its subject matter would deal more with general nihilistic, solipsistic themes only to learn that the focus is almost entirely on that of what our creation of horror says about us. Eugene Thacker has written an incredible book here—his thorough understanding of the subject matter is evident. I look forward to reading his "Cosmic Pessimism," as perhaps that book is what I anticipated from this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #342,663 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Philosophy Methodology #44 in Gothic & Romantic Literary Criticism (Books) #52 in Philosophy Criticism (Books) | | Book 1 of 3 | Horror of Philosophy | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (473) | | Dimensions | 5.64 x 0.7 x 8.73 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 184694676X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1846946769 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 179 pages | | Publication date | August 16, 2011 | | Publisher | Zer0 Books | ## Images ![In the Dust of This Planet: Horror of Philosophy (Volume 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cR63e6+wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written *by D***A on December 29, 2025* Interesting read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Esoteric, Enigmatic, and Educative *by C***N on August 6, 2015* Esoteric in every sense of the word. This book is a very niche exegesis on the intersection of horror and philosophy. The analysis of cultural horror genre lead this work into some theological labyrinths that require the acceptance of several layers of illusive elucidation. I enjoyed the book, but began reading under the assumption that its subject matter would deal more with general nihilistic, solipsistic themes only to learn that the focus is almost entirely on that of what our creation of horror says about us. Eugene Thacker has written an incredible book here—his thorough understanding of the subject matter is evident. I look forward to reading his "Cosmic Pessimism," as perhaps that book is what I anticipated from this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptionally satisfying, Deeply engrossing *by C***H on November 23, 2014* Deeply unsettling, yet somehow also comforting. By deconstructing the way we consider our world through the lens of the horror genre, Thacker creates a piece of nihilist philosophy that doesn't feel obnoxiously glum or self loathing. Deeply analytical and carefully researched, this book is an excellent way for those new to nihilist philosophy or philosophy in general to dip their toes into the ancient art of placing ourselves in a physical and moral universe. As a lover of the horror genre, this book makes me feel as if my love for the macabre is not only valid and founded, but deeply rooted in my own subconscious understanding that my place in the cosmos is essentially meaningless. And the horror genre is a way in which we cope with that meaninglessness. Also, Glenn Beck hates it, so there's a reason to read it right there. ## Frequently Bought Together - In the Dust of This Planet (Horror of Philosophy, 1) (Volume 1) - Starry Speculative Corpse (Horror of Philosophy, 2) (Vol 2) - Tentacles Longer Than Night (Horror of Philosophy, 3) (Vol 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6181759-in-the-dust-of-this-planet-horror-of-philosophy-volume](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6181759-in-the-dust-of-this-planet-horror-of-philosophy-volume) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
