The Weird and The Eerie (16pt Large Print Edition) by Mark Fisher
A noted British cultural critic takes on some of the strangest and most anomalous works of art from the 20th century and dissects our fascination with the unsettling in popular music, film, and writing 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, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan.Mark Fisher is a well-known arts pundit in Scotland. He is the Scottish theatrical critic for The Guardian, a former editor of The List, and a freelance contributor to Variety, The Scotsman, and Scotland on Sunday, with over 25 years of experience. He is the co-editor of Made in Scotland, a Methuen Drama anthology of plays, and the author of The Edinburgh Fringe Survival Guide (a great practical but also inspirational book full of solid advice - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian).
