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.
"What would your feelings be if your cat or your dog began to talk to you... in human accents? You would be overwhelmed with horror. [Sin] is simply an attempt to penetrate into another and higher sphere in a forbidden manner."
- Arthur Machen, "The White People"

Finished reading Mark Fisher's 'The Weird and The Eerie.'
Really thought-provoking. I'm glad I took my time with this and read it in short chunks. I'll be drawing on these ideas for my own writing for quite some time, I think.
