We are excited to release the second instalment of our academic journal, ‘Overcoming Oblivion’ 📜

In this article, Shaun Mclaren discusses the relationship between weird literature, a sub-genre of the Gothic, and philosophical nihilism. ( 🖊️)

This excerpt from his award-winning dissertation, ‘The Literary Portrayal of Nihilism: Caitlin R. Kiernan’s Response to H. P. Lovecraft’, is the first of four articles which explore how both authors use the weird to convey nihilism though their cosmically horrific tales.
