Monstrous media/spectral subjects explores the intersection of monsters; ghosts; representation and technology in Gothic texts from the nineteenth century to the present. It argues that emerging media technologies from the phantasmagoria and magic lantern to the hand-held video camera and the personal computer both shape Gothic subjects and in turn become Gothicised.In a collection of essays that ranges from the Victorian fiction of Wilkie Collins; Bram Stoker and Richard Marsh to the music of Tom Waits; world horror cinema and the TV series Doctor Who; this book finds fresh and innovative contexts for the study of Gothic. Combining essays by well-established and emerging scholars; it should appeal to academics and students researching both Gothic literature and culture and the cultural impact of new technologies.
