A noted British cultural critic takes on some of the strangest 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 Christopher Nolan.

What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? 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.

Eerie Publications' horror magazines brought blood and bad taste to America's newsstands from 1965 through 1975. Ultra-gory covers and bottom-of-the-barrel production values lent an air of danger to every issue, daring you to look at (and purchase) them. The Weird of World of Eerie Publications introduces the reader to Myron Fass, the gun-toting megalomaniac publisher who, with tyranny and glee, made a career of fishing pocketbook change from young readers with the most insidious sort of exploitation. You'll also meet Carl Burgos, who, as editor of Eerie Publications, ground his axe against the entire comics industry. Slumming comic art greats and unknown hacks were both employed by Eerie to plagiarize the more inspired work of pre-Code comic art of the 1950s. Somehow these lowbrow abominations influenced a generation of artists who proudly blame career choices (and mental problems) on Eerie Publications. One of them, Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant), provides the introduction for this volume. Here's the sordid background behind this mysterious comics publisher, featuring astonishingly red reproductions of many covers and the most spectacularly creepy art.

The Weird and the Eerie è l’ultimo libro pubblicato in vita da Mark Fisher, lo scrittore e critico culturale inglese che anche nel nostro paese sta ora raccogliendo grande interesse. Il suo Realismo capitalista ha generato un vivace dibattito e ha mostrato come Fisher sia una figura fondamentale per comprendere il presente. Ricordando l’amico, Simon Reynolds ha scritto: «Costruendo, con incomparabile rigore ed eloquenza, un ponte che collega estetica e politica, critica e attivismo, Fisher era davvero un intellettuale impegnato, potremmo dire persino: un John Berger post rave». Quest’ultima definizione è perfetta anche per inquadrare The Weird and the Eerie, dove s’indagano – tra letteratura, musica e cinema – due forme/sentimenti che non hanno una perfetta corrispondenza nella nostra lingua. Solo approssimativamente, infatti, il weird può essere reso con «strano» e l’eerie con «inquietante». Fisher segue e spiega queste categorie attraverso le arti e le epoche: il weird si rivela così nei racconti di H.P. Lovecraft, nelle canzoni dei Fall, nei romanzi di Philip Dick e nei film di David Lynch, mentre l’eerie si manifesta nell’opera di scrittori, musicisti e registi come Margaret Atwood, Brian Eno, Stanley Kubrick e Christopher Nolan. «Il fascino di weird ed eerie non è sintetizzabile nell’idea che “ricaviamo piacere da ciò che ci spaventa”. Ha piuttosto a che vedere con l’attrazione per l’esterno, per ciò che sta al di là della percezione, della conoscenza e dell’esperienza comune», scrive Fisher. In questo libro, il reale si apre dunque all’ignoto, all’incubo e all’incanto.

This book synthesizes Jacques Derrida’s hauntology and spectrality with affect theory, in order to create a rhetorical framework analyzing the felt absences and hauntings of written and oral texts. The book opens with a history of hauntology, spectrality, and affect theory and how each of those ideas have been applied. The book then moves into discussing the unique elements of the rhetorical framework known as the rhetorrectional situation. Three case studies taken from the Christian tradition, serve to demonstrate how spectral rhetoric works. The first is fictional, C.S. Lewis ’The Great Divorce. The second is non-fiction, Tim Jennings ’The God Shaped Brain. The final one is taken from homiletics, Bishop Michael Curry’s royal wedding 2018 sermon. After the case studies conclusion offers the reader a summary and ideas future applications for spectral rhetoric.
