A new study of Gothic American fiction through the lens of capitalism.

Financial Gothic reads Frankensteinian monsters, haunted houses, vampires, and zombies in American fiction and film as cultural responses to financial phenomena from 1886 to the present day. The study also considers the preexisting consensus on racial readings of American gothic fiction, and how these interpretations of the slave trade can be expanded upon in conversation with their financial contexts.
