Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth The Gothic Anthropocene

"All of the essays connect the subjective potency of the texts under discussion - the affects and moods that they inspire in the reader or viewer - to the ways that such works also give us a deeper understanding of the ongoing ecological transactions that are putting our very existence at risk. Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth both reclaims the gothic as an urgently relevant mode of fiction-making and suggests that aesthetic approaches are able to bring us a kind of understanding that scientific studies on their own could not."-Los Angeles Review of Books

"It is impossible for me to do complete justice to this book in a review, but I will say that the sixteen essays included in it are all illuminating, thoughtful, and interesting."-Gothic Wanderer
