Weird

[close] For lovers of the borderlands of genre, where capital L literature meets fantasy, science fiction, horror, etc., for readers interested in beautiful, artful writing and thought provoking themes as much as exciting plots, uncanny beings and weird worlds. To paraphrase Rod Serling... There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to humankind. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of our fears and the summit of our knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Gloaming Realm.

[close] Yes, it is we, though 'we' are not to be named. We are strange. We are odd. We are crazy. We are we and we isn't named. If you come here with your sanity intact, have fun leaving with it still there. If you come and it wasn't there to begin with, then you've nothing to worry about. Be careful if you join, for we are the dictionary definition of utterly terrifying and utterly deranged. Normal? That's not in our dictionary to begin with. Anyways, without further ado, I hope this introduction hasn't scared everyone off. Let's try something normal for once. Welcome to the group!

[close] Dreampunk is a sci-fi/fantasy subgenre that asks the question "Is this real?" and then follows up with "What does that even mean anyway?" Alice in Wonderland would be the prototypical example, but any anti-authoritarian investigation into the nature of dreams, reality, the self, and the universe might qualify. Good examples include the works of Philip K. Dick, Haruki Murakami, and Neil Gaiman. The aesthetic is somewhere in the neighborhood of The Sandman, Scott Pilgrim, and Over the Garden Wall.
