Over at the Canadian Notes & Queries website my review of Pasha Malla’s Kill the Mall is up. Interesting book for fans of bent, supernatural stuff.
I’m not sure what it’s specifically responding to, but the genre of Weird fiction is really having a moment. A few years ago I had a piece in the Literary Review of Canada on the direction things were heading that talked a bit about this. Seems like the kind of thing that scholars might want to look into, if that’s the sort of thing scholars still do.
Not keen on the sound of that book, I think Weird is not for me.

It’s a niche taste. Which makes me wonder why it’s become so popular among literary authors these days. Maybe reality has become too weird.
