 In the landscape of contemporary horror literature, it is possible – besides the narratives of various authors like Stephen King and Clive Barker, who have distanced themselves from H. P. Lovecraft's Cosmic horror in favor of settings where horror tends to be anchored to an anthropocentric “vision” of reality – to find a darker and more visionary movement that renews the tradition of “weird” through genre contamination.
