ENG 295-01 - Special Topic: Horror and Weird Fiction2 credits (Spring)
This course hones our own intuitions about horror and the weird by mapping their various traditions throughout literature, from foundational figures like Henry James, Edgar Allan Poe, and H.P. Lovecraft, to contemporary practitioners such as Brian Evenson, Carmen Machado, and Karen Russell. We will read stories about ghosts, madmen, haunted houses, impossible geometrics, cursed landscapes, cosmic terrors, killer spirals, and the undead, and a major question for the course will be how these stories create a sense of dread.
Prerequisite: ENG 205 or ENG 206 .
Note: Dates: April 7 to May 12. Half-semester deadlines apply. S/D/F only.
Instructor: Staff
