A great collection from writers I admire on a genre/style that I love.
My favourite piece was by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, I felt this one widened my vision somehow.
There are some spoilers in this (probably to be expected when reading an analysis of something, but just a heads up)

Interesting book covering different takes on The Uncanny. Good for writers of horror and dark fiction, or for readers who are curious.

Some very helpful and accessible essays (by which I mean not stuffy or so esoteric that its best use would be a cure for insomnia) on various aspects of the uncanny and a lovely reference list of suggested reading at the back. Marked up my copy and will refer back often, I'm sure. Many thanks, Dan Coxon, for this collection!
