Analysing the major texts of the Gothic (including Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mysteries of Udolpho) this fascinating book proposes three new ways of understanding the Gothic in terms of "haunting": Firstly, the Gothic haunts writing rather than simply writing about haunting. A force of chaos that disrupts the rules of representation inhabits gothic writing. It manifests itself in the form of cliches, anachronisms, jarring images, or punning that go against the grain of the intended linear meaning of the text. Secondly, the Gothic transmits unspoken secrets that are conveyed without being stated. Abraham and Torok's groundbreaking concepts of cryptonymy and phantomatic transmission are extensively used in connection with the Gothic to show how the repressed that returns is not simply the subject's but someone else's secret. Thirdly, this book reads the Gothic in terms of clinical melancholy. It identifies in the texts' fantasies of incorporation or resurrection and other narcissistic devices by which death is magically neglected.
