"Deeply researched, packed with detail, and bold in scope and imagination, this intriguing book is ultimately about temporality and culture. It brings an impressive array of sources to bear on the future-present and the future-past as key categories of political and aesthetic critique."-Achille Mbembe, philosopher, author of On the Postcolony
"This densely packed book busts the genre of horror wide open, substituting slow-building dread with breakneck mesmerism. Like Walter Benjamins magical, if precarious, balance of opposites, Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker-Shing lay bare horrors grasp over almost all aspects of architectural production and representation while nevertheless leaving us with the glimmer of a possible way forward."-Sarah M. Whiting, Harvard Graduate School of Design
"This book is wise, challenging, and wonderful in its shameless celebration of the sublime qualities of horror. To see this subject discussed in relation to architecture is truly a discovery."-SjÓn, author of The Blue Fox
