Reclaim the Weird!

Fantasy, horror and sci-fi should stimulate the imagination, inspire fear and wonder, provoke fresh and fantastical thinking.

Agent of Weird explores the movies, fiction, comic books and writing techniques that exemplify the fantastic, reclaiming the written weird in the age of digital sludge, corporate storytelling and the almighty franchise.

Aimed at readers, writers, role-players, connoisseurs and creators, anyone who craves inspiration, and insight into tales of swords, fangs and lasers.

From Alec Worley the award-lacking writer with twenty years’ experience creating comics, fiction and audio in the worlds of Warhammer, Star Wars, Judge Dredd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, legendary horror director John Carpenter, and a bunch more.
