Selected by a poll of more than 180 Gothic specialists (creative
writers, professors, critics, and Gothic Studies program developers
at universities), the fifty-three original works discussed in
21st-Century Gothic represent the most impressive Gothic novels
written around the world between 2000-2010. The essays in this
volume discuss the merits of these novels, highlighting the
influences and key components that make them worthy of inclusion.
Many of the pioneer voices of Gothic Studies, as well as other key
critics of the field, have all contributed new essays to this
volume, including David Punter, Jerrold Hogle, Karen F. Stein,
Marie Mulvey-Roberts, Mary Ellen Snodgrass, Tony Magistrale, Don
D'Ammassa, Mavis Haut, Walter Rankin, James Doig, Laurence A.
Rickels, Douglass H. Thomson, Sue Zlosnik, Carol Margaret Davision,
Ruth Bienstock Anolik, Glennis Byron, Judith Wilt, Bernice Murphy,
Darrell Schweitzer, and June Pulliam. The guide includes a preface
by one of the world's leading authorities on the weird and
fantastic, S. T. Joshi. Sharing their knowledge of how traditional
Gothic elements and tensions surface in a changed way within a
contemporary novel, the contributors enhance the reader's dark
enjoyment, emotional involvement, and appreciation of these works.
These essays show not only how each of these novels are Gothic but
also how they advance or change Gothicism, making the works both
irresistible for readers and establishing their place in the Gothic
canon.
