By re-visiting the usefulness of the term 'queer' and pushing queer theoretical frameworks into new territory, this volume explores the ways that Gothic and queer work alongside each other: one as a marginalised genre and the other as a marginalised identity. Considering both major and lesser-known Gothic works, and ranging from the canonical (poetry and fiction) to the popular (film, video games, music, and visual and performance art), it offers queer and trans perspectives on a wide selection of Gothic modes, genres and texts from fiction such as Hugh Walpole's \u003ci\u003eThe Castle of Otranto\u003c\/i\u003e to Jeanette Winterson's \u003ci\u003eThe Daylight Gate\u003c\/i\u003e, films from \u003ci\u003eNosferatu\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Cured\u003c\/i\u003e and TV shows including \u003ci\u003eIn the Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePose\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Ardel Haefele-Thomas is the Chair of LGBT Studies at City College of San Francisco.
