Welcome to the Borderlands: A Definitive Guide to the New Weird - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author

A definitive guide to the New Weird — the genre that ate the walls between science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Origins in Lovecraft and Machen, the 2003 naming debate, in-depth analysis of Perdido Street Station, Annihilation, Viriconium, and Who Fears Death, author quotes, political dimensions, and eight craft principles for writers entering the territory.

Is anyone here reading what might be called 'dhammic literature', meaning literary fiction that explores dhamma-related themes - the human condition, suffering, happiness, perception.

In particular I am interested in conversations about the New Weird and how it 'estranges' us from habituated perception. Also looking for reading recommendations.

Dieses hübsche kleine Büchlein, habe ich den Eindruck, dürfte erzählerisch auch in die #ScienceFiction oder das #NewWeird reinwabern. Ich habe ein Leseexemplar weitergereicht bekommen und werde berichten. 🤠

Mœdium, Fast and weird

Ah, les pépites de l'imaginaire, toujours l'occasion de découvrir de nouvelles plumes, de nouveaux univers, des surprises ! Bon, maintenant il n'y a plus que Mnémos qui perpétue l’événement (et on les en remercie). La sélection de 2026 est Mœdium de Renée Zachariou, et la première chose à souligner c'est que je sais pas faire œ au clavier, c'est pas pratique, ça. Bon on va copier-coller... Mais derrière ce titre, on a une histoire, celle de Moira, une "Data scientist" qui […]

I'm looking for my socks, as they've been knocked off by 'The Works of Vermin' by Hiron Ennes. A baroque, New-weird-ish, twisty, beautifully written dark fantasy thriller in which nothing is what it seems.

Kim Bo-young porta Lovecraft in Corea, dove "Il mare infetto" tocca un piccolo villaggio di pescatori, i quali cominciano a cadere vittime di un male che li trasforma.

"Firma qui", un noir familiare con innesti weird di Claudia Lux. O un weird intrecciato a oscure vicende familiari? In ogni caso, una storia da gustarsi.

Started Part 3 of the #Baslag Trilogy 'The Iron Council' by #Chinamiéville
His style instantly throws you into that #newweird world, its peoples and creatures and captures you in an exciting story from the very first page.
After 'Perdido Street Station', 'The Scar' (which both blew my mind!) and the first 50 pages, I'm confident that I won't be disappointed!
