Publisher's Summary

Explore the unsettling world of weird narrative with this first volume of Lectures on Weird Fiction. This collection features the first ten transcribed and revised lectures originally delivered live and published individually.

The book explores key works such as Being John Malkovich, “The Dunwich Horror”, and “Sredni Vashtar”, giving the listener an overview of twentieth-century weird and allowing exploration across mediums. Each lecture focuses on the unique and shared elements that define the weird, such as the uncanny, liminal space, and transgression.

Crafted for both newcomers and aficionados, this volume illuminates the complex tapestry of motifs and themes that weave through weird fiction, setting the stage for deeper exploration in subsequent volumes. Come along on a journey into the shadows and subtleties that shape this fascinating literary landscape.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
