Offering an innovative approach to the Gothic, this book breaks ground with a new materialist analysis of the genre, highlighting the ways that, since its origins in the eighteenth century, the Gothic has been intensely focused on “ominous matter†and “thing power.†Weinstock reveals human beings to be enmeshed in networks of human and nonhuman forces mostly outside of their control.
