This collection is the first to focus exclusively on
twenty-first-century young adult Gothic fiction. The essays
demonstrate how the contemporary resurgence of the Gothic signals
anxieties about (and hopes for) young people in the twenty-first
century. Changing conceptions of young adults as liminal figures,
operating between the modes of child and adult, can be mobilised
when combined with Gothic spaces and concepts in texts for young
people. In young adult Gothic literature, the crossing of
boundaries typical of the Gothic is often motivated by a
heterosexual romance plot, in which the human or monstrous female
protagonist desires a boy who is not her 'type'. Additionally, as
the Gothic works to define what it means to be human - particularly
in relation to gender, race, and identity - the volume also
examines how contemporary shifts and flashpoints in identity
politics are being negotiated under the metaphoric cloak of
monstrosity.
