CHAPTER

The Intersection of Psychoanalysis, Occultism, and Weird Fiction

This chapter explores the connection between psychoanalysis, occultism, and weird fiction, focusing on a figure who found limitations in psychoanalysis and turned to a more conservative spiritual regime. It also discusses the differences between Freud and Jung in understanding the unconscious and highlights the goal of weird fiction to reveal the uncanny and open up the space of the unconscious.
