Thanks for joining up. Come here to post you discoveries or ask for suggestions.

When you are reading titles already in the WWEnd database, check to see if their sub-genre tags include Weird Horror, Weird Fantasy, or Weird Science Fiction. If not, please add them so more titles will be searchable by their weirdness.

This list might give you some ideas for this challenge - http://bookriot.com/2016/04/11/i-got-your-weird-right-here-100-wonderful-strange-and-unusual-novels/

I don't think all the books totally qualify as "weird fiction" as defined by WWEnd but nevertheless there's some great sounding reads on the list.

Location: behind the 4th wall		My 2017 review for the Weirdness Challenge

5 Stars
The Engine?s Child by Holly Phillips
The Moon King by Neil Williamson

4 Stars
Living Next Door to the God of Love by Justina Robson
The Scar by China Mi?ville
The Unfinished World by Amber Sparks

3 Stars
The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan
Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt
Dreams of Shreds and Tatters by Amanda Downum
The Litany of Earth by Ruthanna Emrys

2 Stars
The Opposite House by Helen Oyeyemi
The Beautiful Bureaucrat by Helen Phillips
The Music of Razors by Cameron Rogers

(My reading choices all fell into the strange-odd-bizarro type of weird fiction except for The Litany of Earth, which was Lovecraftian.)
