Given their focus on the culturally marginal, unknown, and \"other,\" these genres figure as diagnostic modes of storytelling, outlining the latent anxieties and social dynamics that define a culture's \"structure of feeling\" at a given historical moment. The contributions in this volume map the long and continuous tradition of weird and fantastic fiction as a seismograph for eco-geographical turmoil from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, offering innovative and insightful ecocritical readings of H. P. Lovecraft, Harriet Prescott Spofford, China Miéville, N. K.
