This book presents the California Gothic as a profoundly significant regional subgenre that vividly captures the unique anxieties rooted in the historical, cultural, and geographical landscape of the Golden State. While California has often been portrayed as a utopian paradise, it is simultaneously plagued by the haunting echoes of European and Anglo-American imperialism, genocide, racial and economic injustice, natural disasters, and the relentless pursuit of aggressive infrastructural and commercial development. By drawing upon the insights of California historians and cultural commentators, this study delves into the unsettling portrayal of the dark and menacing side of the California Dream within the realm of horror and Gothic literature.
California has long been seen as a utopian land, but it is also plagued by the specters of European and Anglo-American imperialism, genocide, racial and economic discrimination, natural disasters, and aggressive infrastructural and commercial development. This study explores how the nightmarish flipside of the California Dream has been depicted in horror and Gothic literature, drawing on the work of California historians and cultural commentators.
