Lorna Piatti-Farnell is director of the Popular Culture Research Centre at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
This is a varied collection, full of exciting new research from
leading scholars in Gothic and Horror Studies, on the Gothic’s
continued engagement with the processes of retelling and
remediation. Wide-ranging, yet also case-specific, Gothic
Afterlives is an essential read for anyone with an interest in how
the mode is evolving in an age marked by the preponderance of
sequels, prequels, (re-)adaptations, reboots and remakes.
