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.

The Flesh Betrays: A Definitive Guide to Body Horror Fiction - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author

A definitive guide to body horror fiction — its philosophical origins in Frankenstein and Kafka, its four distinct creative approaches (psychological, erotic, feminist, political), five essential texts from The Metamorphosis to Tender Is the Flesh, its social critique dimensions from gender to capitalism to race, and six craft principles for writers entering the tradition. When the body is the monster, nothing is safe.

Oh, by the way,

I finished "My Heart Is a Chainsaw" this morning and immediately started "Don't Fear the Reaper," the next book in Jones's Indian Lake trilogy.

Tasty horror writing. That perfect blend of blood and ash and rain, with occasional flashes of blinding lightning showing you the thing just at the edge of your vision.

Well_Worth_A_Read Mar 14

Hags and Witches was one of my favorite anthologies so far this year. Folk horror is my favorite subgenre, and to me, witches are its backbone, its heart, and its core. I devoured these pages like a hungry child who discovered a house with a roof made of cake and windows of pure sugar. Toss me in the oven, I'm done. #horrorfiction #bookstodon My review is posted at https://wellwortharead.blogspot.com/2026/03/hags-and-witches-by-kjk-publishing.html
