Detailing the adventures of a supernatural clan of vampires,
witches, and assorted monstrosities, Ray Bradbury's Elliott family
stories are a unique component of his extensive literary output.
Written between 1946 and 1994, Bradbury eventually quilted the
stories together into a novel, From the Dust Returned (2001),
making it a creative project that spanned his adult life. Not only
do the stories focus on a single familial unit, engaging with
overlapping twentieth-century themes of family, identity and
belonging, they were also unique in their time, interrogating
post-war American ideologies of domestic unity while reinventing
and softening gothic horror for the Baby Boomer generation. Centred
around diverse interpretations of the Elliott Family stories, this
collection of critical essays recovers the Elliotts for academic
purposes by exploring how they form a collective gothic mythos
while ranging across distinct themes. Essays included discuss the
diverse ways in which the Elliott stories pose questions about
difference and Otherness in America; engage with issues of gender,
sexuality, and adolescence; and interrogate complex discourses
surrounding history, identity, community, and the fantasy of
family.
