| Sumario: | The article focuses on Natalie Dederichs' book *Atmosfears: The uncanny climate of contemporary ecofiction*, which analyzes how contemporary ecofiction represents "uncanny climates" and challenges anthropocentric views of agency and identity. Drawing on theories from new materialism, ecocriticism, and affect theory, the study examines both traditional and experimental literary forms, including ecohorror and ambient literature, to explore how literary atmospheres evoke affective engagement with ecological realities. Through close readings of selected novels and transmedia works, Dederichs highlights the role of literary texts in shaping readers' understanding of the Anthropocene and the complex entanglements between humans and more-than-human entities. The book also addresses the limits of language in conveying ecological materialities and emphasizes the active role of readers in meaning-making within ecofiction.
