Ramblings from the abyss about anything in the genres of the weird and horror.
What is “The Weird?” Its a genre that sits in the realms of horror, fantasy and science fiction all at once.

In a Cavern, In a Canyon
I have a complicated relationship with Mr. Barron's writing. Some of his stories are outstanding while others lean too far into tropes around machismo in the face of incomprehensible cosmic horror. That works for some stories but he has a large number of those in his oeuvre. “In a Cavern, in a Canyon” is one of his stories that doesn't follow those tropes at all.
