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.
