Honoured to have been invited to write for Empire Magazine on what David Lynch meant to me. It was very moving to write. And proud to be included alongside Nicholas Cage, Dexter Fletcher and others who worked with Lynch in this beautiful 12-page spread in Empire’s new issue ❤️

I stole this t-shirt off my older sister when I was 7 or 8 and wore it to primary school with such pride, so unimpressed by other kids asking me why my t-shirt said I killed some random girl, knowing they were missing out on that glorious nightmare fuel!

David Lynch, a treasure. We were so lucky to have him. His work exists in its own realm & always will. He created his own language & we all tuned in. An inspiration to so many of us. We owe him SO much. Rest in Cosmic Peace, David Lynch, the greatest, my hero 🤍🤍🤍

An extremely beautiful, important & moving piece of writing by Mark after attending Derek's funeral last week. Derek was Mark's friend & the subject of his longterm photo-project. He will be very missed in our household 🤍 www.mag-north.com/posts/on-the...

Massive respect to Coralie Fargeat for this. Sad to see Żydowicz responding so defensively to the ASC/BSC statements and not reflecting more on how his comments have come across. www.screendaily.com/news/coralie...

From “The Weird and the Eerie” by the late Mark Fisher

First page of chapter one of “The Weird and the Eerie”, written by the late Mark Fisher.

Text reads:

The Out of Place and the Out of Time:
Lovecraft and the Weird

What is the weird? When we say something is weird, what kind of feeling are we pointing to? I want to argue that the weird is a particular kind of perturbation. It involves a sensation of wrongness: a weird entity or object is so strange that it makes us feel that it should not exist, or at least it should not exist here. Yet if the entity or object is here, then the categories which we have up until now used to make sense of the world cannot be valid. The weird thing is not wrong, after all: it is our conceptions that must be inadequate.
Dictionary definitions are not always much help in defining the weird. Some refer immediately to the supernatural, but it is by no means clear that supernatural entities must be weird. In many ways, a natural phenomenon such as a black hole is more weird than a vampire. Certainly, when it comes to fiction, the very generic recognisability of creatures such as vampires and werewolves disqualifies them from provoking any sensation of weirdness. There is a pre-existing lore, a set of protocols for interpreting and placing the vampire and the werewolf. In any case, these creatures are merely empirically monstrous; their appearance recombines elements from the natural world as we already understand it. At the same time, the very fact that they are supernatural entities means that any strangeness they possess is now attributed to a realm beyond nature. Compare this to a black hole: the bizarre ways in which it bends space and time are completely outside our common experience, and yet a black hole belongs to the nat-ural-material cosmos - a cosmos which must therefore be much stranger than our ordinary experience can comprehend.
