Reviews

Unlike most accounts of 'Cold War Culture, ' which scarcely mention the Gothic and emphasize a shared national identity, The Haunted State of America shows us that Gothic fiction was not only alive and well in post-war America, but also that it sustained the nation's various regional traditions and explored their distinctive problems of race, religion, gender, and ethnicity . . . A ground-breaking and compelling study of American Gothic fiction. --Sanford Schwartz, Pennsylvania State University
