[headline]Explores a full spectrum of Gothic works broadly understood as queer, from the eighteenth century to today Queer Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion features sixteen essays that interrogate queer theory's intersections with the Gothic. By re-visiting the usefulness of the term 'queer' and pushing queer theoretical frameworks into new territory, this volume explores the ways that Gothic and queer work alongside each other: one as a marginalised genre and the other as a marginalised identity. Considering both major and lesser-known Gothic works, and ranging from the canonical (poetry and fiction) to the popular (film, video games, music, and visual and performance art), it offers queer and trans perspectives on a wide selection of Gothic modes, genres and texts from fiction such as Hugh Walpole's The Castle of Otranto to Jeanette Winterson's The Daylight Gate, films from Nosferatu to The Cured and TV shows including In the Flesh and Pose.

Gonzalez, Shadows in the Attic takes the reader from Ancient times to the mid-40's weaving a tale of the history of horror-all the while discussing writers and stories that influenced, that captivated, and cultivated the genre through the centuries.

Offers fresh perspectives on Irish Gothic and its pervasiveness in Irish culture from the eighteenth century to today. Irish Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion provides a comprehensive account of the extent to which Gothic can be traced in Irish cultural life from the eighteenth century to the contemporary moment, across both elite and popular genres and through a range of different media, including literature, cinema and folklore. It responds, in particular, to the understanding that Gothic is ubiquitous in Irish literature and culture. Rather than focus exclusively on the oft-studied Irish Gothic foursome - Charles Maturin, Sheridan Le Fanu, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker - this companion turns attention to overlooked 'minor' figures such as Regina Maria Roche, Mrs F. C. Patrick, James Clarence Mangan and Eimear McBride. At the same time, it considers the multi-generic nature of Irish Gothic, thinking beyond fiction and, in particular, the novel, as the Gothic genre par excellence. The volume also takes account of Irish language Gothic, illuminating the ways in which the Gothic in Ireland has found and continues to find expression in different cultural and linguistic communities.

The first dedicated exploration of the short fiction of Shirley Jackson for three decades, this volume takes an in-depth look at the themes and legacies of her 200-plus short stories. Recognized as the mother of contemporary horror, scholars from across the globe, and from a range of different disciplinary backgrounds, dig into the lasting impact of her work in light of its increasing relevance to contemporary critical preoccupations and the re-release of Jackson's work in 2016. Offering new methodologies to study her work, this volume calls upon ideas of intertextuality, ecocriticism and psychoanalysis to examine a broad range of themes from national identity, race, gender and class to domesticity, the occult, selfhood and mental illness. With consideration of her blockbuster works alongside later works that received much less critical attention, Shirley Jackson's Dark Tales promises a rich and dynamic expansion on previous scholarship of Jackson's oeuvre, both bringing her writing into the contemporary conversation, and ensuring her place in the canon of Horror fiction.
