From the World Fantasy Award-winning author Helen Marshall comes a collection of critical writing focused on the evolution of writing, horror, and the weird tale.
Within this volume you'll find an interrogation of the radical poetics of M. John Harrison's Worldbuilding, deep dives into the works of Stephen King and Kelly Link, and a meditation on the need for new and evolving language to describe weird times. You'll also find Marshall's extraordinary story, Survival Strategies, accompanied by an extended commentary that unearths its hidden depths and utilization of the uncanny.
Insightful, dangerous, and incredibly precise, Tomorrow's Language shows us Dr Helen Marshall's critical work on horror and writing craft are just as unsettling, startling, and viscerally engaging as her best work as a fiction writer.
