520 |a Focuses on the California Gothic in the twentieth and twenty-first centuriesAnalyses the key historical events and cultural and social factors which have shaped Californian identity and found expression in horror and Gothic narrativesConsiders contributors to the California Gothic canon, such as: Nathanael West, Clark Ashton Smith, Shirley Jackson, Fritz Leiber, Joan Didion, Richard Matheson and Dave EggersReconsiders key films in relation to their previously overlooked ‘California Gothic’ significance: including Messiah of Evil (1973), The Fog (1980), The Lost Boys (1987), Sunset Boulevard (1950), Ravenous (1999), Starry Eyes (2014), The Neon Demon (2016), The Invitation (2015), Desierto (2015), Winchester (2018) and Us (2019)Draws upon the work of California historians and cultural commentators such as Kevin Starr, Mike Davis, Reyner Banham, Joan Didion, Philip Fradkin, Rebecca Solnit and Benjamin MadeleyThis book positions the ‘California Gothic’ as a highly significant regional subgenre which articulates anxieties specific to the historical, cultural and geographical characteristics of the ‘Golden State’. California has long been perceived as a utopian space, but it is also haunted by the spectres of European and Anglo-American imperialism, genocide, racial and economic discrimination, natural disaster and aggressive infrastructural and commercial development. Drawing on the work of California historians and cultural commentators, this study explores the ways in which the nightmarish flipside of the ‘California Dream’ has been depicted within horror and Gothic.
