Taking the word 'egress' as its starting point-a word used by Fisher in his book The Weird and the Eerie to describe an escape from present circumstances as experiences by the characters in countless examples of weird fiction-Egress considers the politics of death and community in a way that is indebted to Fisher's own forms of cultural criticism, ruminating on personal experience in the hope of making it productively impersonal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colquhon, Matt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465896562872,"sku":"9781912248872","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781912248872.jpg?v=1734731004","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781912248872","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
