The New Uncanny : Tales of Unease
In 1919 Sigmund Freud published an essay that delved deep into the tradition of horror writing and claimed to understand one of its darkest tricks.Like a mad scientist, he performed literary vivisection on a still-breathing body of work, exploring its inner anatomy, and pulling out mysterious organs for classification.His aim: to present to the world a complete theory of 'das unheimliche', the uncanny.In the spirit of this great experiment, 14 leading authors have here been challenged to write fresh fictional interpretations of what the uncanny might mean in the 21st century, to update Freud's famous checklist of what gives us the creeps, and to give the hulking canon of uncanny fiction a shot in the arm, a shock to the neck-bolts...

Comedy, Comedy, Comedy, Drama : The Sunday Times bestseller
*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*'A real gem of a book for comedy fans... honest, irreverent and fascinating' Matt Lucas'Bob Odenkirk is not only a brilliant comedy writer and performer, he is also a comedy fan.This book is a love letter to all his comedy heroes, full of warmth, heart and wit' Georgia Pritchett 'Bob is one of the sharpest comedy writers and actors working today.This is a wonderful memoir ... I devoured it in one sitting' David Walliams'I loved this book.I was in a lift with Bob once, back in the 90s - little did I know how high he was going' Harry Hill-------------------------------------------------------------In this hilarious, heartfelt memoir, the star of Mr. Show and Breaking Bad spin off Better Call Saul opens up about the highs and lows of showbiz, his cult status as a comedy writer, and what it's like to reinvent himself at age fifty as an action-film ass-kicker. Bob Odenkirk's career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you.Charting a "Homeric" decades-long "odyssey" from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations-with a side-trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him-it's almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks!But there is just one, and one is plenty. Bob embraced a life in comedy after a chance meeting with Second City's legendary Del Close, then somehow made his way to a job as a writer at Saturday Night Live.While surviving that legendary gauntlet by the skin of his gnashing teeth, he stashed away the secrets of comedy writing-eventually employing them in the immortal "Motivational Speaker" sketch for Chris Farley, honing them on The Ben Stiller Show, and perfecting them on Mr. Show with Bob and David. In Hollywood, Bob demonstrated a bullheadedness that would shame Sisyphus himself, and when all hope was lost for the umpteenth time, the phone rang with an offer to appear on Breaking Bad-a show about how boring it is to be a high school chemistry teacher.His embrace of this strange new world of dramatic acting led him to working with Steven Spielberg, Alexander Payne, and Greta Gerwig, and then, in a twist that will confound you, he re-re-invented himself as a bona fide action star.Why? Read this and do your own psychoanalysis-it's fun!Featuring humorous tangents, never-before-seen photos, wild characters, and Bob's trademark unflinching drive and humour, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic showbiz tale told by a determined idiot. 'I can't think of another entertainer who has improbably morphed so many times and all through real genius and determination' Conan O'Brien'An exceptionally and uniquely talented man who has had a huge influence on comedy for over thirty years. And now he's given us his P.O.V. of that journey. This book is filled not only with lessons on "making" "it" in "showbiz" but also regular old life lessons as well (including his killer recipe for "Granny's Sunday Loaf").It's funny, informative, and like the author himself, disarmingly honest.I look forward to meeting him one day' David Cross

What causes a feeling of unease after watching a horror movie?
A feeling of unease after watching a horror movie can be caused by a combination of factors. The intense and suspenseful nature of the film can trigger a physiological response, such as an increase in heart rate and adrenaline levels, leading to feelings of anxiety and fear. Additionally, the themes of the movie, such as death, supernatural entities, or violence, can linger in the mind and create a sense of unease. The element of the unknown and the fear of the unexpected can also contribute to this feeling, as our brains may continue to process and replay frightening scenes even after the movie has ended.

Do liminal spaces give you a sense of unease?
Liminal spaces can evoke a sense of unease for some people due to their ambiguous and transitional nature. The feeling of being in between two distinct places or states can create a sense of disorientation and uncertainty. Additionally, the lack of clear boundaries and familiar markers in liminal spaces can contribute to a feeling of unease as individuals may feel a loss of control or predictability. However, others may find liminal spaces to be intriguing or even peaceful, as they offer a unique opportunity for reflection and contemplation.
