Description

Explore the shifting landscape of modern horror and dark fantasy with Post-millennial Gothic. This academic work by Catherine Spooner examines how the Gothic genre has evolved in contemporary literature and culture. Rather than focusing solely on fear, this study looks at how the genre has become romantic, funny, and celebratory in recent years. By analyzing a diverse range of popular texts, the book provides a fresh perspective on what is often called 'Happy Gothic.' You will find discussions on major cultural touchstones, including the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and the distinct film adaptations by Tim Burton, such as Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, and Dark Shadows. Beyond books and film, the text investigates how Gothic elements appear in everyday life, from fashion and advertising to television. This book offers a necessary correction to traditional media accounts that have previously overlooked this celebratory side of the genre. It is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the changing nature of contemporary Gothic culture.
