“…Jabavu is also located within the Vaal Triangle Priority Area (VTAPA). The settlement has an estimated population of 45 128 (Harrison and Harrison [15] ) and is densely populated, and, in some instances, two households occupy spaces meant for one [29] ). Old spatial plans lead to the location of densely populated settlements near industrial areas which inevitably increases exposure to ambient air pollution [24] .…”

“…Obviously, Newton held a high regard for this piece, eventually expressing his disappointment when the work was not approved to be built by the Jewish community leader at the time [8]. Trummerflora would go on to influence some concepts behind The Endangered Meadows of Europe (1994)(1995)(1996)-regarded as the first Future Garden-and Garden of Hot Winds andWarm Rains (1996, 2003) [9].…”

“…They were children's things, made of Chinese plastic, cheap rubber, feathers: objects trivial in their day but now of great value to collectors. 43 My added underlinings mark passages that seem like echoes from the Tract, or the Event sites. Everything can be found in there, encoded in Anna's mementoes and rejectamenta: Ed Chianese.…”

China Miéville states that since the concepts of Hauntology and Weird are diametrically opposed, only one of them can be attributed to any literary phenomenon at a time. However, those categories are connected by the sublime, a quantum state that can collapse into either awe or horror. I will discuss the exception to this rigorous division, namely the Kefahuchi Tract, the central mystery in M. John Harrison's Empty Space trilogy. Many instances of Tract activity follow the conventions of a classic haunting. Still, the Tract is characterised as essentially Weird. I will present several ways of reading the Tract. Firstly, stressing the 'science' in science fiction, as a black hole without an event horizon, affecting all of reality and preserving old data. Secondly, as a literary phenomenon, a psychological journey. Both approaches are equally valid since the Tract is presented as a quantum phenomenon. It exists in an entangled intermediate state, and only the reader's interpretation creates one fixed meaning. Moreover, recurring markers in the texts point towards each narrative's being embedded in an overarching theme that connects most of Harrison's fiction, which is the notion of secondary-world fantasy literature as escapism-presented in a way that is clearly anti-escapist.
