The Weird and The Eerie (16pt Large Print Edition)

Exploring the concepts of the Weird and the Eerie, Mark Fisher delves into their unique characteristics and significance in 20th-century fiction. While often linked to horror, these modes evoke a deep fascination with the unknown rather than pure terror. Fisher argues that understanding these liminal concepts is essential to grasping the human condition. He examines works by notable authors like H. P. Lovecraft and Margaret Atwood, as well as films by directors such as Stanley Kubrick, highlighting how these themes manifest across different narratives.
