Placing someone in a world that doesn't make sense to them--that operates on its own, unpredictable form of "logic"--creates ideal conditions for comedy (Looney Tunes), absurdist fantasy (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)... or horror. Which can range from tales as impossible as Octavia Butler's Kindred, to stories that are more terrifyingly plausible than some may realize, such as Kafka's absurd nightmare The Trial.
