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."
