New Weird Fiction

Description: New Weird - fiction that blurs the boundaries between fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. It's unclassifiable and.....weird. This list is meant to focus on newer works (published after 1990, approximately) as opposed to the classics like Lovecraft who were writing in this style before it had a classification.
