The March/April 85th anniversary issue of Weird Tales features our big list of “The 85 Weirdest Storytellers of the Past 85 Years.” We’re breaking it down online, too: one honoree per day, in no particular order, for 85 days!

Those of us of a certain age and demeanor who recognized Björk Guðmundsdóttir’s weird genius in her early days look back over her 20-year songwriting career with a certain smugness. That swan dress at the Oscars? We saw it coming! Silver-tongued, smart, and refreshingly in touch with her inner primitive, Björk uses the surreal to explore arguably the weirdest landscape of all: what it means to be human. But watch out for those giant rampaging teddy bears.
