Forthcoming Books
Radical "Multispecies Feminist" theorist Donna Haraway has a new nonfiction book coming out in September, seems like a provocative title:
"Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Cthulucene" I have enjoyed some of her past works: "Simians, Cyborgs and Women," and "When Species Meet." Good material if you enjoy this sort of abstract reflection. Nowadays I'm less interested than I once was, but still am interested to see how she weaves the Cthulhu motif into her new work. | |||||||||||

Re: Forthcoming Books
The title "provokes" this pedant to wonder why she misspelled Cthulhu!

Re: Forthcoming Books
I know, in fact I first posted it with the correct, "R'lyehian" spelling without thinking, and then had to edit my post when I realized that it didn't match her title.

Re: Forthcoming Books
Repeater Books has announced a new book by Mark Fischer due out in December 2016 with the intriguing title The Weird and the Eerie.
In the book the modes of the Weird and the Eerie will be examined "with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan." Here is the link: http://repeaterbooks.com/books/the-w...e-mark-fisher/ | |||||||||||

Re: Forthcoming Books
I have this on the way:
Horror through History: An Encyclopedia of the Stories That Speak to Our Deepest Fears Edited by Matt Cardin Publication date: June 2017 Publisher description (slightly shortened): This project is currently eating up literally all of my "spare" time. (Well, this, plus Vastarien.) It will feature more than 400 entries spread across two volumes. Some of the writers of these entries will probably sound familiar to many of you (e.g., Michael Cisco, Darrell Schweitzer, Stefan Dziemianowicz, S. T. Joshi, Steven Mariconda). I'm really pleased with the contributor lineup. And yes, of course, there will be entries on Tom and his work, as well as entries on a number of additional authors, works, topics, and themes of central interest around these parts. | |||||||||||

RE. "THE WEIRD AND THE EERIE"
Dear Nethescurial, This work looks most intriguing and thanks for posting the link! I am interested in his proposed distinction between the "Weird" and the "Eerie" (the latter of which I take to mean the "Uncanny"). I will definitely be looking into this one. | |||||||||||

@matt cardin
This might very well be the greatest landmark in horror scholarship since "Supernatural Horror in Literature". All aboard the hype train! |

Re: Forthcoming Books
It would be good to see Charles L. Grant included in there. As a horror writer, he occupied a sort of artistic middle-ground between Stephen King and Ligotti. Like King, his stories generally featured an amiable mix of likeable, everyday characters and pleasant semi-rustic New England towns, but unlike other mainstream horror writers, Grant's stories almost invariably ended on a sharply sinister note, his characters often finding themselves trapped in an irrational world of darkness and horror from which there's no escape. A library copy of his "Tales from the Nightside" was one of the essential stepping stones leading to my fascination with horror, and it's probably his short and novella-length fiction that deserves the most attention among his output. However, his novel "Night Songs" is worth mentioning, too, not just one of the finest horror novels I've come across, but also seemingly unique in its portrayal of a zombie apocalypse that's equal parts George Romero and Val Lewton. (And that was way before pop culture gave a damn about zombies, too.) | |||||||||||

@ Matt Cardin,
The project looks very intriguing. I guess I'll take this opportunity to tell you I enjoyed "Notes of a Mad Copyist," which I read recently. | |||||||||||
