Моделиране в/на странната фантастика. За Бележки относно писането на ужаси: един разказ от Томас Лиготи
Modelling in/of Weird Fiction. On Thomas Ligotti’s “Notes on the Writing of a Horror: A Story”

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the relationship between the genre of weird fiction and horror literature, examining the mechanism by which weird fiction simultaneously incorporates and deviates from the genre models, norms and conventions of horror fiction. The article maintains that the relationship between weird fiction and the other genres in the field of fantastic literature (science fiction, fantasy, horror, gothic literature, etc.) is expressed through this mechanism of simultaneous incorporation and deviation of models but the exact process through which it is realized is unique to each individual weird fiction text. Thus, the topic is discussed through the analysis of Thomas Ligotti’s short story „Notes on the Writing of a Horror: A Story“.
