Women Writing the Weird

Edited by Deb Hoag.

WEIRD

1. Eldritch: suggesting the operation of supernatural influences; “an eldritch screech”; “the three weird sisters”; “stumps... had uncanny shapes as of monstrous creatures” – John Galsworthy; “an unearthly light”; “he could hear the unearthly scream of some curlew piercing the din” – Henry Kingsley

2. Wyrd: fate personified; any one of the three Weird Sisters

3. Strikingly odd or unusual; “some trick of the moonlight; some weird effect of shadow” – Bram Stoker

WEIRD FICTION

“Stories that delight, surprise, that hang about the dusky edges of ‘mainstream’ fiction with characters, settings, plots that abandon the normal and mundane and explore new ideas, themes and ways of being.” – Deb Hoag
