All in all, though, a very fine collection of horror stories from a modern master of the genre. This is a sterling and particularly nightmarish example. Often I try to tell my husband about a story or a book I'm reading, and when I tried to tell him about Procession of the Black Sloth I realized it's really hard to condense or relate a story from Barron. Scotch broom was Washington's rebuttal to kudzu. Did the book show potential? I was looking for a blog that was a repository of the best titles in horror and weird fiction.

Sterile waters in a clay bowl. Think Ligotti's faceless and nameless places and characters given a face and a soul we care about.

An exemplary wordsmith, his prose sticks a needle in your brain and gives it a twist. Again, again, again, until you reach the inevitable conclusion of sky-rises, nuclear submarines, orbiting sattelites, and Homo Sapiens fornicating the earth. In these eleven stories, Cody Goodfellow explores the bizarre and the deeply human, using the kaleidoscopic language only he is capable of. Resources and Downloads. I'm running out of ways to praise the man who has infected my brain like some kind of alien parasite. A great read for sure and a must for fans of cosmic horror. So many stories in this collection freaked me out. Laird Barron is essential reading in the horror genre, case closed. The title story, about a series of legendary and unpleasant photographs, is in some ways a nod to "Pickman's Model," but also sets the stage for Barron's own developing mythos. The middle lagged somewhat, in my opinion, although it underscores the tragic situation after what happens in the beginning. An American industrial espionage security consultant ie a PI for corporations embarks on an assignment in Hong Kong, and from the flight on finds himself in a surreal nightmare, missing memories, facing an inexplicable cult, perhaps, and hallucinatory violence by and against him. NancyO February 6, at AM. Skip to content. The Imago Sequence and Other Stories Writer I think Barron has been inspired by Lovecraft's technique of evoking the uncanny through an accumulation of telling images and tantalizing details. His wording, phrasing, and editing are flawless — literally among the best wordsmithing I have encountered among writers active today. Shelves: books , , i-hate-short-stories. He cites the poet Wallace Stevens as another influence.

A cycle, indeed a cycle, and not a pleasant one if you are cursed with a brain and the wonder of what the cosmic gloaming shall hold for you. Maybe I'm not smart enough for Laird Barron, or maybe it was the fact that I was reading most of this while under the influence of NSAIDs and muscle relaxers to deal with my sciatica, but I frequently found myself at the end of each story thinking "so what the fuck happened?

  • ENC 1145 3309 Chalifour
    ENC 1145: Writing About Weird Fiction Section: 3309 Time: MWF Period 8 (3:00-3:50 pm) Room: Turlington 2349 Instructor: Spencer Chalifour Email: [email protected] Office: Turlington 4315 Office Hours: W Period 7 and by appointment Course Description: In his essay “Supernatural Horror in Fiction,” H.P. Lovecraft defines the weird tale as having to incorporate “a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space.” This course will focus on “weird fiction,” a genre originating in the late 19th century and containing elements of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and the macabre. In our examination of weird authors spanning its history, we will attempt to discover what differentiates weird fiction from similar genres and will use several theoretical and historical lenses to examine questions regarding what constitutes “The Weird.” What was the cultural and historical context for the inception of weird fiction? Why did British weird authors receive greater literary recognition than their American counterparts? Why since the 1980s are we experiencing a resurgence of weird fiction through the New Weird movement, and how do these authors continue the themes of their predecessors into the 21st century? Readings for this class will span from early authors who had a strong influence over later weird writers (like E.T.A. Hoffman and Robert Chambers) to the weird writers of the early 20th century (like Lovecraft, Robert Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, and Algernon Blackwood) to New Weird authors (including China Miéville, Thomas Ligotti, and Laird Barron).

By far the most popular writer associated with the latter publication is H.P. Lovecraft, an American practitioner of cosmic weird horror whose astounding fictions have become emblematic of the genre in the mainstream imagination. This dissertation locates Lovecraft’s early modernist predecessors in British authors Vernon Lee (Violet Paget), Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, and William Hope Hodgson. By tracking the evolution of the genre through these authors’ works, this study addresses the following question: “How does weird horror fiction distinguish itself from prior supernatural traditions, in particular the Gothic romance and the Victorian ghost story?” The chapters answer that inquiry by demonstrating that British weird horror fiction destabilizes scientific and philosophical accounts of physical matter, as well as the materialistic theories of ii biological life and the cosmos that issue from such accounts.

    Cthulhu Mythos anthology 1 Cthulhu Mythos anthology A Cthulhu Mythos anthology is a type of short story collection that contains stories written in or related to the Cthulhu Mythos genre of horror fiction launched by H. P. Lovecraft. Such anthologies have helped to define and popularize the genre. Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos Author H. P. Lovecraft and Others Cover artist Lee Brown Coye Country United States Language English Genre Fantasy, Horror short stories Publisher Arkham House Publication date 1969 Media type Print (Hardback) Pages vii, 407 pp ISBN NA Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by August Derleth and published by Arkham House in 1969, is considered the first Cthulhu Mythos anthology. It contained two stories by Lovecraft, a number of reprints of pieces written by members of Lovecraft's circle of correspondents, and several new tales written for the collection by a new generation of Cthulhu Mythos writers. It was published in an edition of 4,024 copies. Derleth prefaced the collection with "The Cthulhu Mythos", an outline of his (sometimes controversial) views on the development and content of the Mythos. In this introduction, Derleth prematurely declared the genre to be dead--"for certainly the Mythos as an inspiration for new fiction is hardly likely to afford readers with enough that is new and sufficiently different in execution to create a continuing and growing demand".[1] Lin Carter later wrote that Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos "marked the beginning of a new era in the history of the Mythos for many reasons, and one of the most important was that it introduced a number of new writers in the Mythos."[2] Contents The contents of the original 1969 edition are: • "The Cthulhu Mythos" by August Derleth • "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.

    CHTHONICA EPISODE #1: INTERVIEW WITH LAIRD BARRON ON THE WORLDS, METAPHYSICS, INFLUENCES, AND--YES--DOGS IN HIS HORROR FICTION Greg Greene Chthonica podcast, 04 July 2021 Transcription: Yves Tourigny Greg Greene: I’m here with Laird Barron, the writer of horror and weird fiction primarily as he’s known. I’m just going to ask Laird some questions. Laird, how are you doing today? Laird Barron: I’m doing fine, thanks for having me on. GG: Absolutely. So, let me start with two of my favorite subjects which are metaphysics and metanarrative. In particular, trying to understand the whole body of your work. So I’ve read through all of your published fiction and I know that at least the vast majority of your stories--let’s say “The Cyclorama” from the James Bond Licensed Expired book notwithstanding, clearly that’s in the James Bond world--but most of your fiction falls into the world of Old Leech, but that world has different facets to it, obviously. So I could put any given story into the Our World/Real World version of the Old Leech universe, and there is also Antiquity, this dark fantasy universe. How do you distinguish those? Are there more than two worlds within that universe, in your view? LB: I don’t want to give a complete answer because I think that ruins some of the mystery. I’ll say a couple of things. Antiquity, which would be the Rumpelstiltskin, dealing with fables and legends and putting my spin on them. That’s essentially the only writing that I do in the weird/horror genres that I consider to be supernatural, in the sense of magic, things that probably couldn’t happen, or could only happen in the imagination.
