Curious, would the works of Edgar Allen Poe qualify as gothic horror or a different genre? And if it is gothic horror, where does it place in all this?

Silent Hill ticks literally ALL the boxes. ;)

If one can forgive the approval of establishment literary critics, I thank Franz Kafka stories like 'the Metamorphosis' and Jorge Luis Borges stories like 'the Library of Babel' could easily be considered weird fiction.

If you've played the TTRPG Mage: the Ascension, you will see influences by Ligotti and his story, "The Flowers"

Did this guy for real blur out scenes due to gore? Lol dead channel walking.

Dude don’t blur when talking about horror lmao

mary shelley is badass

my favorite: vathek frankenstein dracula short vampyre, polidori

Do you still upload videos?

I'm probably wrong, but is it fair to say that maybe it arose from anxiety? Fear of the unknown, of the unknowable, and the uncontrollable? Thinking that *something* is out there, but not knowing entirely what it is? If I am wrong, I'd like someone to explain because I have a feeling that it's probably wrong. I just wanna hear a different perspective

I think I am closer to understanding what cosmic horror is, but I'm not sure whether a particular film belongs to that genre. Would Alien be considered cosmic horror?

My fav horror genre... I collected all the greats lovecraft, Howard, belknap long, ashton smith, bloch, lieber etc.. It's the notion of there being no happy ending and our longing for knowledge and further experiences.. It being our ultimate undoing.. We long to see, to know,... But when we find the truth we recoil in horror in the revelation of there being no salvation for humanity... That's why things like sending signals into space searching for other intelligence... Or cern creating mini black holes. Research into parallel universes.. Scares me to the core... More than demons or monsters etc.. Our own search for knowledge will backfire one day... Sending us into a new "dark age"...

Some Classic Weird Fiction Stories you didn't mention:- 'The Moon Pool' by Abraham Merritt. 'The Music Of Erich Zann' by H.P. Lovecraft 'The Tower Of The Elephant' by Robert E Howard 'Black God's Kiss' by C.L. Moore 'Loup Garou' by R.B. Russell Enjoy!

You bloody nailed this one. The channel should definitely have more subscribers. Thank-you!

THANK YOU, Mr. Narrator for pronouncing Cthulhu the way it was meant to sound!

I strongly believe I write weird fiction. I mix genres and often times the stories are very twisted. They don't align with the typical horror you see today but yet they do in ways. I explore the dark side of humanity a lot and also the what if this or that. I blend this in with reality at the same time.

Lovecraft! There's my Boi!

I’m enchanted by Clark Ashton Smith’s zaniness. Two of my favorites are: The Double Shadow The Geas There’s a venerable tradition of weird fiction in Japan called kaidan (ghost stories) or kaiki (strange tales). Its characteristics are largely the same, especially the “ordinary life interrupted” aspect. Lafcadio Hearn wrote much in English about it, and there’s a multivolume English-language anthology titled Kaiki, Uncanny Tales from Japan. Two of my favorites are: The Face in the Hearth by Tanaka Kōtarō “Ino Mononoke Roku” which has multiple adaptations and may also count as a folk tale.

Can you say Cthulhu one more time...

I love gothic horror 😊

Great video.

Can Aliens be implemented into this genre?

Cthulhu fhtagn!

Edgar Alan Puh

"MORTATLITY"...?

Awesome video, thank you!

Your videos are great and I truly appreciate the obvious amount of time and effort you put into these. Thank you, sir!!

I've always liked cosmic horror like it was a weird offshoot of science fiction, but it had significantly more impact after experiencing DMT

I wish you had more videos! They’re so entertaining AND informative, and that’s so difficult to find on this subject matter. Come back! :)

Please make more videos !

I feel like New Weird is still so underexplored. Shows like The Venture Bros and Rick & Morty dip into New Weird but theres not enough horror usually. I'm working on a New Weird short story collection because I love that intersection of scifi, fantasy and horror.

Yeah I'm convinced Dead Space is a lovecraftian horror.

Very interesting video. Just a little nitpick: the Romantic movement in literature (and art in general) has been around since the late 18th century and started out in Germany. German Romantic stories were then translated into English and sold both in the UK and the US. EDIT: after the translated stories had found their way to the UK and the US, writers there naturally also began to write Romantic literature.

Ligotti's Teatro Grotesco is one of my all-time favorite collections of weird fiction, as well. Great video.

Starfield should have cosmic horror

Please do more videos

I hope you continue making videos! I binged the videos you have so far, and was quite disappointed to see that I got to the end. Very informative and well put together, and I actually quite like your accent.

If you want cosmic horror in sound, listen to Humanity’s Last Breath - Ashen

This is next-level content. A similar book I read was a quantum leap in my thinking. "Stars Aligned" by Olivia Whitestone

Cosmic horror is higher order of abstraction in the mind that begins with a sense of existential insignificance. It is born not from the knowledge there is an unknown, or unknown to be pointed at. Nor is it anxiety with respect to the uncertainty thereof. It is meta-awareness of the chasm between that which is possible to be known and that which we are aware may be beyond comprehension. It is a deeply cognitive response to this gulf, presenting as an uncontrolled descent towards oblivion of coherent self, with increasing awareness that within cannot possibly be reconciled with the scale of without. We are blown apart through meta-consciousness and assign prospective malevolence to the this boundless measurement, coupled with awe of the inexplicably sublime, because we can register no greater threat to our selfhood. That, is existential dread/horror.

You are probably already aware of this, but in case you are not .. . Check out a wonderful work of experimental music made by David Tibet of Current 93 wherein he does his own spoken word version of Thoma Ligotti's "I Have A Special Plan For This World". Extremely dark and surreal and a chillingly disturbing piece of weird fiction set to sound.

I want this story by writing please

I don't think 'Jekyll and Hyde' is gothic.

the pit and the pendullum

What about the pretense of only believing in good spirits until you come across a demon

Ligotti, Barron, Langan, VanderMeer and Vernon/Kingfisher are some of my favourite recent weird fiction writers.

"Kululu" lol put some effort into it it. Hhis name is kltlthturitktjdoth tkhe8y3i3n😂😢Iobeu7wn628🇨🇭u82kylulululuktklgkjhtktltjktltltkltlt, I mean jeez c'mon man. Edit: I hear Bob is acceptable too.

The Others is the embodiment of gothic horror.
