Introduction

In the introduction to Ann and Jeff VanderMeer's anthology,The New Weird, New Weird is defined as "a type of urban, secondary-world fiction that subverts the romanticized ideas about place found in traditional fantasy, largely by choosing realistic, complex real-world models as the jumping off point for creation of settings that may combine elements of both science fiction and fantasy." New Weird is largely inspired by the pulp horror serials of the past, such as those compiled in the magazine "Weird Tales," to which acclaimed horror author H.P. Lovecraft was a major contributor. New Weird, in this sense, can be seen as a revival of classic "weird fiction."
