"What is good about the majority of these stories is precisely that they leave you with many more questions than answers, the mark, in my view, of a superior kind of fiction... It does, in fact, what most of our best fiction does, irrespective of category." -Award-winning author Michael Moorcock, from his introduction "These texts, dead and/or not, burrow, and we cannot predict everything they will infect or eat their path through. But certainly your brain, and they will eat the books you read from today on, too. That is how the Weird recruits." -China Miéville, bestselling and award-winning author of Embassytown , from his afterword " The Steampunk Bible is an informed, informative and beautifully illustrated survey of the subject." -The Financial Times, " What is good about the majority of these stories is precisely that they leave you with many more questions than answers, the mark, in my view, of a superior kind of fiction...

That is how the Weird recruits." -China Miéville, bestselling and award-winning author of Embassytown , from his afterword "Studded with literary gems, it's a hefty, diligently assembled survey of a genre that manages to be at once unsettling, disorientating and bracing in its variety." -- James Lovegrove, Financial Times "It's a tremendous experience to go through its 1,126 pages… there are so many delights in this that any reader will find something truly memorable." -- Scotland on Sunday "Readers eager to explore a world beyond the ordinary need look no further." -- Time Out " An anthology of writing so powerful it will leave your reality utterly shredded… Give yourself to the weird! Hurl your puny mortal body through the portal the VanderMeers have opened for you, join your lord the Miéville on the other side, give your heart and soul to the saints that stand at his feet, to the mad prophets that have prepared you for his coming. Open the pages of the new gospel of The Weird." -- Guardian.co.uk "Unmissable!" The Guardian "The definitive collection of weird fiction… its success lies in its ability to lend coherence to a great number of stories that are so remarkable different and yet share the same theme." -- TLS
