The Weird: a Strange Novella

In a world draped in perpetual darkness - bad things happen. Art abuses. The air is on fire. Everything burns. Bleak crimes create a scene depicting a cerebral murder-mystery. An event has taken place. An event so explosive and traumatic that time has staggered to a stop, and the entire population of Earth can feel its lack of existence becoming a reality. A cosmic serial-killer haunts with a heavy hand, an arsonist turns everything touched to flames - including the air - strange cultists practice pain and perversions in the name of nothing, a rebel youth with a prowess for violence sings sorrows into the ears of society, and a woman named Jane Doe lives a double life as Mother and Martyr for humanity’s lost souls. Somewhere in the middle of it ALL rests a house - an interdimensional void that fuels the deepest recesses of the mind’s fear function. The Weird is more than a strange feeling. It’s the terror and dread that inherently consumes the soul. Everybody knows it - we’ve all felt its presence. It’s a haunting of the human condition. No God. No Stars. All Dead. Experience transgressive experimentalism at its most dangerous - so it begins.
