It is a phenomenon that has influenced the expression of unease and fear across many cultures. The gothic is far more than a genre preoccupied with ghosts, vampires, and the supernatural. Comprehending gothic textuality from the 18th century to the present, the Historical Dictionary of Gothic Literature, Second Edition addresses not merely supernatural fiction but also film, television, graphic works, and the subtle influence of the genre upon global popular culture. Containing a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography, the dictionary section contains cross-referenced entries on African American gothic, cyberpunk and steampunk, dark academia, folk horror, and Japanese gothic.
