Long abstractCall it the Chthulucene: this threshold at the edge of the present in which the monstrous, the chthonic, the tentacular, the horrif-ic, and the weird abound. How to write the Chthulucene? Why not start here in the speculative mode that touches on the hid-den, but cannot quite name it — that recovers terror and strange-ness in the sym-poietic cascade of crisis and becoming.Science fiction. Fantasy. Slipstream. Cli-fi. Horror. New Weird. Such stories estrange the world, rendering it and its agents both immediate and uncanny in that immediacy. From John Wyndham’s triffids to Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach1 and El-len van Neerven’s plant people2 — weird stories that reimagine the interactions between plants and humans in the Chthulucene offer new ways of thinking, or, as Vandermeer claims, feeling, in rapidly changing and multi-species worlds.
