  1. Helen Marshall _ Year's Best Weird Fiction,

    Weird fiction is a strange beast, an eclectic genre {or subgenre}. It originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century through the works of authors including Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Machen, and M. R. James, and has since developed over the course of the last hundred years to encompass new writers such as China Miéville, M. John Harrison and others. Weird fiction is notable for its generic uncertainty; it exists at the boundary between science fiction and horror-perhaps-or between literary fiction and horror-perhaps-or between Lovecraft and whatever happens to be floating close to hand at any given moment-perhaps!
