- As a longer-form study of theology in contemporary Gothic fiction, this book incorporates detailed analysis of more than forty novels by fifteen writers. It also engages in detail with several distinct theological traditions (e.g. Radical Orthodoxy, negative theology, apocalyptic, Christology and the Historical Jesus). It is the culmination of an extensive research project, conducted between 2011 and 2018, that involved investigating a wide range of contemporary Gothic and theological texts in order to identify relevant primary sources. It is the first book-length analysis of twenty-first-century Gothic literature�s engagement with theology.
