Sinopsis

This book compliments The Gothic in Children?s Literature (2007), which addressed a gap in the critical literature between adult Gothic narrative and children?s and YA literature in the Gothic tradition. The uptake of the Gothic in children?s publishing since then necessitates an analysis of the Gothic in children?s literature in the new millennium, examining the proliferation of new versions of fairies, angels, demons, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, and witches. The volume asks how this literature helps readers contextualize and understand their psychological and social environments during periods of individual growth, cultural change, global terror, and economic uncertainty.
