I highly reccomend The Weird and the Eerie by Mark Fisher.

He's talking most about horror and strangeness in kterature and film, but I think it still applies to this.

One is a presence of something that should not be there and the other is an absence of something that should.

Never thought about it like that before.

"A weird sound broke the eerie silence."

"An eerie sound broke the weird silence."

Hmm.
