This brilliant compendium of old short stories was brought together in order to explore what life is like when it is lived indoors. The Machine Book of Weird is a collection of lockdown literature before it happened: a series of unheimlich tales by which we may judge the strange experience that began in February 2020 and which somehow feels like it is not fully over. The Machine Book of Weird gives insight into how narratives of the interior become narratives of the mind, available as pairs of stories by individual writers.
