Mark Fisher’s 2016 book The Weird and the Eerie traces these two concepts in popular literature and film with the help of other popular psychological and literary concepts. If one wants to read a more theoretical and hard-to-read book that focuses on a similar terrain that has examples from deeper cultural works, they can take a look at Julia Kristeva’s Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection<\/em>, I haven’t been able to read all of it yet.<\/p>\n

Fisher, while giving references to the cultural content, likes to wander around the plots in couple of pages instead of briefly mentioning the content and building around it, an approach that \u017di\u017eek aces. These long passages retelling the books and films that I haven’t read or seen made the book a bit less catchy for me. Nonetheless, since I know I will forget all these details in couple of days, I thought I can take notes for some of the mentioned works in their contexts so that I can come back in a distant time in the future.<\/p>\n
