💎 Our verdict on The Off-Season: An Anthology of Coastal New Weird

“

Horror desk
It suits readers of cosmic and psychological horror who enjoy Marissa Van Uden’s specific brand of coastal disquiet. However, it does not suit those seeking conventional narrative arcs, clear resolutions, or traditional ghost stories with defined monsters. The 'New Weird' label suggests experimental prose and bizarre logic that may alienate casual horror fans. It is a niche selection for the dedicated connoisseur of dark fantasy who values mood and setting above all else, functioning more as a tonal exercise than a plot-driven anthology.
