A new work by renowned writer and cultural critic, Mark Fisher, that unearths the weird, the eerie and the horrific in 20th century culture through a wide range of literature, film and music references.
Explore the weird, the eerie, and the horrific in 20th-century literature, film, and music-from H.P. Lovecraft and Daphne Du Maurier to Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan.
What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? Two closely related but distinct modes, and each possesses its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, but this genre alone does not fully encapsulate the pull of the outside and the unknown.
In several essays, Mark Fisher argues that a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of transitory concepts such as the Weird and the Eerie.
Featuring discussion of the works of- H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, NigelKneale, Daphne DuMaurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, JonathanGlazerand Christopher Nolan.
