In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The Weird and 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 and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and 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 and the eerie. These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan. 606 $aFiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror in literature 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror in literature. 676 $a809.304 700 $aFisher$b Mark$0704062 801 0$bAuAdUSA 801 1$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158991803321 996 $aThe weird and the eerie$92889373 997 $aUNINA
