Continuing our punk series, tonight we explore how literary horror has crept and scuttled its way into the Steampunk scene.
Weird Fiction- late 19th, early 20th cent. Supernatural fiction blending sci-fi, gothic fiction, folk tales, romanticism, ghost stories, and fantasy while avoiding genre tropes, and making them... weird. Edgar Allen Poe
Cosmic Horror- Themes of Detachment and Isolation, the Unknown, the Fragility of Sanity, pointlessness of human existence, and Visceral Textures (like tentacles). HP Lovecraft
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
