Abstract:
Weird fiction is a mode in the Gothic lineage, cognate with horror, particularly associated with the early twentieth-century pulp writing of H.P. Lovecraft and others for Weird Tales magazine. However, the roots of the weird lie earlier and late-Victorian British and Edwardian writers such as Arthur Machen, Count Stenbock, M.P. Shiel, and John Buchan created varyingly influential iterations of the mode. This thesis is predicated on an argument that Lovecraft’s recent rehabilitation into the western canon, together with his ongoing and arguably ever-increasing impact on popular culture, demands

Abstract:
This dissertation explores how contemporary, small-press, speculative fiction deviates from other genres in depicting the processes of consciousness in narrative. I study how the confluence of contemporary cognitive theory and experimental, small-press, speculative fiction has produced a new narrative mode, one wherein literature portrays not the product of consciousness but its process instead. Unlike authors who worked previously in the stream-of-consciousness or interior monologue modes, writers in this new narrative mode (which this dissertation refers to as "the little weird") use the tec

“The Daemonology of Unplumbed Space: Weird Fiction, Disgust, and the Aesthetics of the Unthinkable” explores the aesthetic and metaphysical significance of disgust in weird fiction. Beginning with the weird’s forefather, Edgar Allan Poe, the study traces the twisted entanglement of metaphysics, aesthetics, affect, and weird fiction through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, considering along the way the myriad attempts of authors such as Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, and H.P. Lovecraft to stage encounters with the unthinkable. Drawing on recent philosophical efforts to reinvigo

Abstract:
The fiction of HP Lovecraft – known broadly as weird fiction and more specifically as cosmic horror – ushered in a genre that rejected the “clanking chains” inherent to the Gothic and supernatural fiction (Lovecraft, 2012, p. 28). The weird is defined by its “atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces”, and in Lovecraft's fiction the antagonist is the revelation of a cold and indifferent universe weighing down on the characters’ sanity and safety (Lovecraft, 2012, p. 28).

H.P. Lovecraft, em seus ensaios e cartas, nos oferece uma reflexão riquíssima sobre a narrativa de horror e como esta deve se expressar na literatura. O autor cunhou o termo Horror Cósmico para denominar sua teoria estética. Porém, mais do que ser uma teorização sobre o horror na literatura, o Horror Cósmico é uma teorização sobre como deve ser a narrativa que Lovecraft julga ser a ideal para as histórias que deseja contar.

These encounters are not monumental; however their impact is significant because of their disturbing, disgusting, puzzling and humourously entertaining qualities. The awkwardness and resulting ambiguity of my imagery is defined through connections to the uncanny, the surreal, the grotesque and the literary genre of tragicomedy.

The theoretical part focuses on the fantastic literature and the position of Finnish Weird in it.

Abstract:
Perverted by Language is a genre study of weird fiction, from the golden age of the High Weird to the New Weird of today. The study specifically addresses the often-overlooked tendency of weird fiction narratives to adopt a self-theorising approach to language, text, and discourse. While speculative fiction criticism has typically focussed on the teratology of the weird––the formless, yet over-formed monstrosities described by writer China Miéville as the prototypical “eldritch, oozing, tentacled thing”––my thesis argues that weird fiction’s monsters are as much semiotic as they are morphologi

Abstract:
Weird fiction criticism has been largely focused on either analyzing texts via the biographies of weird fiction authors, or concentrating on the words on the page to a degree that ignores all outside context. Although these approaches are valuable, more utility is to be found in analyzing weird fictions via their specific historical locations. This dissertation demonstrates the validity of this approach by surveying the works of five American weird fiction authors from the Twentieth Century (Lovecraft, Smith, Howard, Bloch, and Ligotti), and giving new interpretations that are based on an unde
