Offering a fresh perspective on the gothic novel in America, this study engages the underlying currents that define American culture as one of consumption through the rereading of canonical texts that range from Hawthorne, Poe, James and Faulkner, to contemporary gothic novels of Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates and Anne Rice.
