A transnational and transmedia companion to the post-millennial
Gothic Key Features Covers key areas and themes of the
post-millennial Gothic as well as developments in the field and
revisions of the Gothic tradition Consitutes the first thematic
compendium to this area with a transmedia (literature, film and
television) and transnational approach Covers a plurality of texts,
from novels such as Stephenie Meyer's Twilight (2005), Helen
Oyeyemi's White Is for Witching (2009), Justin Cronin's The Passage
(2010) and M.R. Carey's The Girl with All the Gifts (2014), to
films such as Kairo (2001), Juan of the Dead (2012) and The
Darkside (2013), to series such as Dante's Cove (2005-7), Hemlock
Grove (2013-15), Penny Dreadful (2014-16) Black Mirror (2011-) and
even the Slenderman mythos. This resource in contemporary Gothic
literature, film and television takes a thematic approach,
providing insights into the many forms the Gothic has taken in the
twenty-first century. The 20 newly commissioned chapters cover
emerging and expanding research areas, such as digital
technologies, queer identity, the New Weird and postfeminism. They
also discuss contemporary Gothic monsters - including zombies,
vampires and werewolves - and highlight Ethnogothic forms such as
Asian and Black Diasporic Gothic.
