Longlisted for the 2022 International Gothic Association's Allan
Lloyd Smith Prize The bestselling genre of Frankenfiction sees
classic literature turned into commercial narratives invaded by
zombies, vampires, werewolves, and other fantastical monsters. Too
engaged with tradition for some and not traditional enough for
others, these 'monster mashups' are often criticized as a sign of
the artistic and moral degeneration of contemporary culture. These
hybrid creations are the 'monsters' of our age, lurking at the
limits of responsible consumption and acceptable appropriation.
This book explores the boundaries and connections between
contemporary remix and related modes, including adaptation, parody,
the Gothic, Romanticism, and postmodernism. Taking a multimedia
approach, case studies range from novels like Pride and Prejudice
and Zombies and The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club
series, to television programmes such as Penny Dreadful, to popular
visual artworks like Kevin J. Weir's Flux Machine GIFs. Megen de
Bruin-Mole uses these monstrous and liminal works to show how the
thrill of transgression has been contained within safe and familiar
formats, resulting in the mashups that dominate Western popular
culture.
