What exactly are the Weird & the Eerie? In this new essay Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting & anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes The Weird & the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes each possessing its own distinct properties Both have often been associated with Horror yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise The Weird & the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside & the unknown which are not intrinsically horrifying even if they are always unsettling Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird & the eerie These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H P Lovecraft H G Wells MR James Christopher Priest Joan Lindsay Nigel Kneale Daphne Du Maurier Alan Garner & Margaret Atwood & films by Stanley Kubrick Jonathan Glazer & Christoper Nolan ...

The Weight Of Things

The Weight of Things is the first book by Austrian writer Marianne Fritz (1948-2007) and the first to be translated into English After winning acclaim with this novel - awarded the Robert Walser Prize in 1978 - she embarked on a brilliant and ambitious literary project called 'The Fortress' which earned her cult status comparisons to James Joyce and admirers including Elfriede Jelinek and W G Sebald Yet in this her first novel we discover not an eccentric fluke of a literary nature but rather the work of a brilliant and masterful satirist philosophically minded yet raging with anger and wit who under the guise of a domestic horror story manages to expose the hypocrisy and deep abiding cruelties running parallel over time through the society and the individual minds of a century
