This timely book explores what might be termed 'Gothic science
fiction' of the last three decades. This designation may at first
appear contradictory, as the Gothic's connotations of the
irrational and supernatural seem to conflict with the rational
foundations of science fiction. However, this collection
demonstrates that the two categories in fact overlap and intersect
in creatively and critically fruitful ways. Understanding texts of
this period by means of this hybrid category allows a fresh
examination of their engagement with the dramatic socio-economic
changes - in communication technology, medical science,
globalization, and global politics - that have transformed the way
we live, and for which Gothic science fiction texts provide
compelling narrative modes. The essays in this collection reflect
the current willingness among researchers to explore
interpretations across genre, form, and discipline, as well as
revealing a buoyant field of research in contemporary Gothic and
science fiction studies. The collection ranges across narrative
media (including literature, film, graphic novels and trading card
games) and across genres, taking in horror, science fiction, the
Gothic, the New Weird and more. The essays explore questions of
genre, medical science, gender, biopower and capitalism,
demonstrating the ways in which Gothic science fiction texts stage
contemporary concerns around power, anxiety, resistance and
capital.
