About the Book

Neo-Gothic Narratives defines and theorises what, exactly, qualifies as such a text, what mobilises the employment of the Gothic to speak to our own times, whether nostalgia plays a role and whether there is room for humour besides the sobriety and horror in these narratives across various media. What attracts us to the Gothic that makes us want to resurrect, reinvent, echo it? Why do we let the Gothic redefine us? Why do we let it haunt us? Does it speak to us through intertexuality, self-reflectivity, metafiction, immersion, affect? Are we reclaiming the history of women and other subalterns in the Gothic that had been denied in other forms of history? Are we revisiting the trauma of English colonisation and seeking national identity? Or are we simply tourists who enjoy cruising through the otherworld? The essays in this volume investigate both the readerly experience of Neo-Gothic narratives as well as their writerly pastiche.

Review :
Maier, Ayres, and the other authors in Neo-Gothic Narratives have taken an important and calculated step forward in a novel approach to the Gothic. I imagine other readers interested in the Gothic and adjacent fields (especially those concerned with contemporary work) will similarly feel that this volume is a benefit to the field and in understanding how representations of the Gothic have evolved into our modern world and ways in which scholarship of the genre might progress — Wesley Scott McMaster, Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts
