Lovecraft\\u2019s 1927 story \\u201cThe Colour Out of Space.\\u201d What is this creature or substance that has color only by analogy, that spreads through earth and water driving man, animal, and vegetation into a madness, not as they ought to be\\u2026? What gives the story its terrifying power and its avenues for endless interpretation? Plus, does meditation make you a spiritual narcissist? We talk about a new social psychology article that even David can\\u2019t defend.
