The Weird and the Eerie

To celebrate 75 episodes of pure socialist republican slurry, we thought we would kick off Season 2 of Casement's Leftovers by returning to the man who first brought us all together: Mark Fisher. The Weird and the Eerie – published just weeks before Fisher's death by suicide in January 2017 – is a work of literary criticism that has always seemed strange to us. We get together to try to make sense of this final work, which brings us to conversations about the nature of reality, capitalism, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and everything in between. What is the "weird" and the "eerie"? Why does any of this matter? Cross the threshold and get weird with us. It's nice in here. The rabbit killer did not eat for a week  And no way he can look at meat  No bottle has he anymore  It could be his mangled teeth  He sees jawbones on the street  Advertisements become carnivores  And roadworkers turn into jawbones  And he has visions of islands  Heavily covered in slime  The villagers dance round pre-fabs  And laugh through twisted mouths  Don't eat, it's disallowed  Suck on marrowbones and energy from the mainlandSupport the show
