Description
A century of literary experimentation has yielded a unique body of dark and strange stories, known as The Weird. These tales, from the likes of Lovecraft to Borges and Gaiman, transcend genre boundaries and plunge readers into surreal domains. The Weird features 110 stories by an all-star cast, including William Gibson, George R. R. Martin, Stephen King, Angela Carter, Kelly Link, Franz Kafka, China Miéville, Clive Barker, Haruki Murakami, M. R. James, Neil Gaiman, Mervyn Peake, and Michael Chabon. This extensive collection brings together the biggest and boldest stories from the last hundred years, eschewing traditional fantasy tropes for something more peculiar and unsettling. The result is a vast and varied anthology that showcases the diversity of The Weird. Published in 2012, The Weird is a significant work in the literary canon, recognized for its contribution to the genre.
