Dick, David Lynch, Daphne Du Maurier, Christopher Priest, M.R. Wells, The Fall, Tim Powers, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Philip K. – Mark Fisher, The Weird and the Eerie, p.8-9 Mark Fisher’s book The Weird and The Eerie, published in 2016 by Repeater Books, deepens our understanding of the concepts of ‘the weird’ and ‘the eerie’ through a myriad of references: H.P. There are more than enough terrors to be found there, but such terrors are not all there is to the outside. I am not claiming that the outside is always beneficent. This fascination usually involves a certain apprehension, perhaps even dread ―but it would be wrong to say that the weird and the eerie are necessarily terrifying. It has, rather, to do with a fascination for the outside, for that which lies beyond standard perception, cognition and experience. The allure that the weird and the eerie possess is not captured by the idea that we “enjoy what scares us”. If you would like to get involved please message me at What the weird and the eerie have in common is the preoccupation with the strange. This night will be on Mark Fisher’s The Weird and the Eerie(See below). This will involve the opportunity to share random thoughts, ideas and any projects we are working on.
