The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory | Jesse Walker

pick

This is a history of conspiracy theories centered on the United States, from the founding to the war on terror. It is highly disturbing, interesting and amusing, entertaining even, to see the lengths and mental acrobatics humans will go to in order to make sense of their world in a way which plays to their pre-established fears. While it‘s focused on the US, that‘s not to say that US culture produces more conspiracy theories than any other.

The Tenant | Roland Topor, Francis K. Price

An unsettling book about the worst kinds of ghosts -- those who take up residence in your mind through outside suggestion. A magnificent film also by Roman Polanski.

The Tenant | Roland Topor, Francis K. Price

I‘m a big fan of both ‘Repulsion‘ (1965) and definitely ‘Rosemary‘s Baby‘ (1968), but I had still not seen Roman Polanski‘s ‘The Tenant‘. This film is part of a loose trilogy he made about the ‘horrors‘ faced by apartment and city dwellers. This one has Polanski in the lead role, stars Isabelle Adjani, and has a feeling of paranoia that is stifling.
It‘s been hard to shake this one since seeing it.

Billypar @Leftcoastzen @batsy @Cathythoughts I think this is the most disturbing cover in my collection. I can't even say exactly why it unnerves me- I guess it speaks for itself 🤷 5y

Cathythoughts If definitely speaks for itself 5y

The Turn of the Key | Ruth Ware

Although I had this one mostly figured out (I was wrong on just a couple small details), I really enjoyed Ware's latest. It definitely had a great creepy vibe, and the MCs building paranoia was well paced. Please, never make me stay in a Smart House. 🙀 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #adventuresofthegmen #onceuponabookclub #thriller #paranoia #creepy #sleeplessnights

"He was perfectly conscious of the absurdity of his behavior, but he was incapable of changing it. This absurdity was an essential part of him. It was probably the most basic element of his personality."
