The chapter after "The Pale Criminal" is "On Reading and Writing," and it really has nothing to do with the act of reading or of writing. It more seems to concern taking on the spirit of liveness while writing — or doing anything.

"The Pale Criminal" ends arguing that the criminal just wanted blood. Then in the next chapter he says to "Write with blood." That is, write with liveness.

And this brought me back to what Foreman says later in his essay, and it connected both of these chapters in Zarathustra for me.
