The 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!

A touchstone of surrealism in modern pop music, the narrative songs of KATE BUSH (1958– ) evince a fierce intellect and dream logic. She’s well infused with the fantasy genre, addressing it directly in tracks like “Hammer Horror” and “Strange Phenomena.” Her two magical-realist masterpieces, The Ninth Wave and A Sky of Honey, address the nature of reality itself. And at her most wonderfully abstract, in “Suspended in Gaffa” or “Sat in Your Lap,” she uses powerful imagery, redolent of genre, getting into our heads like the best psychological writers.
