This is a major re-evaluation of the role and cultural significance of Gothic horror. It offers analysis of literary, film, art and popular cultural texts and critical explanations of key terms (horror, uncanny etc.) to interrogate the contemporary and historical significance of monsters, vampires and ghosts in technological and consumer culture.
