Narrative Concering Books The Mind Parasites

Wilson has blended H.P. Lovecraft’s dark vision with his own revolutionary philosophy and unique narrative powers to produce a stunning, high-tension story of vaulting imagination. A professor makes a horrifying discovery while excavating a sinister archeological site. For over 200 years, mind parasites have been lurking in the deepest layers of human consciousness, feeding on human life force and steadily gaining a foothold on the planet. Now they threaten humanity’s extinction. They can be fought with one weapon only: the mind, pushed to—and beyond—its limits. Pushed so far that humans can read each other’s thoughts, that the moon can be shifted from its orbit by thought alone. Pushed so that man can at last join battle with the loathsome parasites on equal terms.

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books The Mind Parasites

The human race is being attacked by a sort of mind cancer. Something is sucking the human mind dry and has been sucking it for the past two hundred years.What's that you say? A science/weird fiction novel with H.P. Lovecraft, Edmund Husserl and phenomenology as heroes? I'm in! Sure, it's pretentious:The sheer size of the task overawed us. Yet it did not depress us. No scientist could be depressed at the prospect of endless discovery... we found ourselves looking at the people around us with a

I first read this novel when I was 18 (49 years ago) and it had a profound effect on me so much that I found myself hiding in the toilet at work just to read another page. I re-read the book last year (2014) and although it had less impact it is still a great book and sowed the seeds for my own writing actvities. If you are interest in the potential of the human mind, then give it a go.

"Man is a continent, but his conscious mind is no larger than a back garden"."I came to realize how much of "success" in the world is due to a mere habit of agressiveness and hard work, and not at all to intelligence"."Man is lazy by nature, and laziness is by no means to be condemned. It means he dislikes inconvenience, and he has created civilization to escape inconvinience; so his laziness has been an important factor in his evolution. But this also means that he prefers to evolve at his own

I picked this one up largely because I'd heard it references Tsathoggua the Lovecraftian Toad god and it starts out very lovecraftian indeed with a mysterious suicide and the discovery of an ancient cyclopean city but there for me is where my interest stops - The novel takes an introspective turn and the parasites are of the mind, preventing man's evolution - the ancient city is merely a diversion. While I applaud what this is trying to do - looking at the malaise of modern man and attributing

Before I read this book, I thought Colin Wilson was a dick. Now I am convinced. The only reason I'm keeping it is because it will fit nicely amongst my other Lovecraftiana. Also I don't have the one pictured. I have the original printing from Oneiric Press. I got it for 50 cents. Poppin' Tags.

The Mind Parasites by Colin Wilson was definitely interesting. I had previously read another of his SciFi books, The Space Vampires, which was another intriguing story. What to say about The Mind Parasites???It's a story that moves between horror and ScFfi and there are many influences (unless it's more that he has influenced others) or themes explored within the story. It moves from an archeological horror story with HP Lovecraft aspects, both intrinsic and explicit and ends with a spacey type

If ever a book came with a trigger warning this one would be it. Should never be read by a moody youth certainly not this one. Scariest book I ever read.
