In this penetrating study, author Joshi examines six writers - masters of the craft of "weird" tales (of horror, the supernatural, fantasy, quasi-science fiction) and explores the characteristic features of the tale. He finds that the weird tale is not principally a genre, but is rather the expression of a distinctive world view that compels readers to rethink their assumptions of what is "real" and "normal."
