"Blackwoodian" and "Machenesque" literature
I started discussing this branch of literature yesterday on goodreads (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...nesque-fiction) and librarything ("Blackwoodian" and "Machenesque" literature | The Weird Tradition | LibraryThing) to pretty positive response and thought it might be worth sharing here:
I'm working on a "weird fiction"-based senior capstone project and my discussion is leaning increasingly towards the niche occupied by Blackwood, Machen, and occasionally Sarban. I find it interesting that these two (sometimes three) authors are conflated as often as they are, and would like explore their connections -- potentially in terms of the use of space and Rudolf Otto's concept of the "numinous." I'd be interested to hear any theories on this sub-genre/niche, or any fiction/non-fiction recommendations. Works I've read that I'd like to include: Fiction- The Willows & The Wendigo (Blackwood) The White People (Machen) The Events at Poroth Farm (T.E.D. Klein) Primeval Wood (Richard Gavin) Yns-Y-Plag (Quentin S Crisp) Non-fiction- Haunted Presence (S.L. Varnado) Closed Space (Manuel Aguirre) The Weird Tale & The Modern Weird Tale (Joshi) Reading: Ringstones (Sarban) Things I intend to read soon: Cwm Garon (L.T.C. Rolt) Five Degrees of Latitude (Michael Reynier) Midnight Sun (Ramsey Campbell) I'm also looking for an alternative to "Blackwoodian," which just isn't working for me | |||||||||||
