This is Bill, your intrepid moderator. I tend to like the stuff that is both dark and humorous. Although I love Lovecraft and Danielewski with a passion, I would mix in a little Harry Dresden every now and then to lighten the mood when necessary.

Tim here. You'll see that my reading habits are all over the map, but a large prtion of them might be considered weird.

The weirder the better! Welcome, and if you write I encourage you to post anything you like.

Huge Haruki Murakami fan here. If his books aren't weird, then I don't know what is!

Ack!!! there are no books on the book shelf! ...oh I am Brian btw :)

Nathan here, willing to try out anything...books and stories that is

There are books on the book shelf...but they are all still in the "to read" section.

Hello all, I'm Lauren, I don't write any weird fiction (yet), but "weird" is a feature that always makes a book more attractive to me, whether it's a book in the genre, or reading a novel narrated by a rat who loves to read and has fallen in love with a porn star.

See...now that I would read.

:) Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife by Sam Savage

Hah! Awesome...marked it ;)Looks like something by Kafka

Hmm, I wouldn't say Kafka - it doesn't have that level of absurdity to it - but it's definitely a great, strange read. Also very much a book lover's book.

Hello, everyone. Good to meet you all.

I'm only beginning to write fiction seriously, but when I do, it tends to be weird. I too love Murakami. I enjoy Poe, who can be quite strange. And Lovecraft.

Hello.
I like Kafka, Joyce, Bukowski (If you don't think he's weird try reading Pulp), Carroll, etc. Anything that makes you want to do backwards somersaults onto a tambourine. You know that feeling.
I also write weird fiction. Now I feel self-promotional. Whatever. There's a story on my page. Read it if you want. Or don't.

Hello,

New to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and pretty new to reading weird fiction. At the moment I'm leaning more towards the early 20th century weird i.e. A. Blackwood, WH Hodgson, Lovecraft (of course) C. L. Moore, etc. etc. I also enjoy the new weird but haven't read much. M. John Harrison's Viriconium cycle was amazing as was Mieville's Perdido Street Station.

Haven't really put many books on my shelfs yet but plan to. Looking forward to reading more thoughts on this genre.

Dense Macabre:

Just thought that I'd say how. I like to read and am a newbie writer. So, I thought that check out this group.

Hey guys. Brett Talley here, author of That Which Should Not Be. Just wanted to say hello and that I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi guys

I am a bit weird. I was born on the banks of the Lachlan River, my recent ancestors are convicts and bishops and I presently work in the most haunted building in my city.

I love Poe and Lovecraft and Pu Song Ling. I also have a terribly bad habit that is I watch the tv show Supernatural. It is quite silly I know but they occasionally do their research and it is a guilty pleasure of mine to escape in the world of the Winchesters.

The weirdest and darkest book I have ever read is the Wasp Factory' by Ian Banks.

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone. I am John Marvin Enore. I have written three poetry collections. they are all sad erotic gay poetry. If you're interested with my books, please send me a message and i can give you a sampler. The tiles are CYPHILIA, ARGELLIUS REX and L'AMOUR DE MOI. I'll be waiting. I will soon give out a free ebook of my short novella entitled The Suicide Pact. It is about how the world was created, why do we die, what horrors did God's children unleashed into this Earth, why suicides get a second chance to live, a failed abortion, cannibalism, violence and someone jumping out of the window. The first person who will give me a review will get a pdf version of one of my poetry collections.

Hello weirdos!
(That's a collective compliment by the way, or at least it was meant as one!)
My username may be of a supernatural ilk, but I love fiction that chafes at the boundaries of convention and challenges stereotype to a satisfactory punch up. This looks like the sort of group for that, and I very much look forward to bouncing opinions of the shifting walls with all of you.

Hello folks,
I write regularly for Schlock webzine and have P(self) published one novella Hettford Witch Hunt: Series One. I like the idea of weirdness sneaking into everyday life.

Greetings,
Anthony here, I generally love anything weird, strange and horror. I am the author, along with my wife Jessica, of The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who & The Mythological Dimensions of Neil Gaiman.
But more recently the Lovecraftian short story collection The Friendly Horror and Other Weird Tales http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18...
All of the stories are inspired by Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, HP Lovecraft but the final and main story The Friendly Horror is our more contemporary follow up to HPL's The Shadows Over Innsmouth.

It is available on Amazon in Print & Kindle here:


On Smashwords in multiple ebook format


Would love to hear your thoughts on the book.

Cheers,
Anthony

Hello everyone!

I'm a huge fan of the work of UK author, Joel Lane which is how I ended up here.

For those who don't know his work he has written a series of short stories mainly set in Birmingham and the Black Country (the urban heartland of the UK) as well as 3 books of poetry and 2 highly impressive novels - From Blue to Black and The Blue Mask. He has edited collections of noir and weird fiction.

His writing fairly consistently focuses on the soul of man in these decaying environments. The bleak urban landscape mirrors the inner feelings of the characters who inhabit the bars, clubs, music places and seedier parts of a post industrial city.

His work has been described as urban noir, gritty realist but he describes himself as a writer of 'weird fiction' with occasional work in the noir strand of crime fiction.

I cannot recommend his work highly enough. There is a poetic beauty and lingering sadness to his work that is both compelling and haunting. The writing stays with you on your journey.....

Hello! My name is Corvus Winchester. I recently published my first novella - The Monsters Within. I would love it if some of you could check it out! Thanks for creating this group. I know there's horror and thriller groups, but sometimes our works can't be categorized under anything but weird. Thank again and God bless!

I really like your group!
Can you join my group called For the Love of Horror? If you love anything horror, syfy, fantasy, trillers then you'll like this we have it all. I'm trying to get more people involved with it. Can you promote my page on your group? Please? I can do the same one my group. We also are picking authors that are unknown to be give the chance of submitting their work to a folder so they can be picked to be that months book. It's really neat.
Spread the word.
Thanks.
