Sydney Writers Festival: Chloe Wilson for Weird Fiction

Following in the footsteps of Lovecraft, Poe and Shirley Jackson, these writers make weird stories wonderful.

A genre blend of horror, fantasy and sci-fi, weird fiction is about misdirection, unpredictability and deep unease. Modern masters of the genre, Bora Chung, whose first collection of short stories to be translated into English, Cursed Bunny, was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, and Premio Herralde de Novela winner and author of A Sunny Place for Shady People, Mariana Enriquez, are joined by Australian NSW Premiers Award winning short-story writer Chloe Wilson, author of debut novel The Thornbacks.
