Sub-genre #35: Weird Science Fiction

What is Weird Science Fiction?
China Miéville, a practitioner of New Weird writing describes it this way: "The fact of the weird is the fact that the world weave is ripped and unfinished. Moth-eaten, ill-made. And through the little tears, from behind the ragged edges, things are looking at us."
Weird writing tends to blur the genre boundaries of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Weird science fiction takes the familiar tropes of science fiction - space travel, first contact, time travel, etc. - and places them within the ripped, unfinished, and ill-made world that Miéville proposes.
