The book delves into the evolution of queer Gothic fiction, linking it to representations of queer identities in 18th and 19th-century Gothic literature, as well as the impact of the 1970s LGBTQ+ liberation movements and 1990s queer theory. It analyzes how Gothic motifs like spectrality, haunted houses, and monsters illustrate diverse queer experiences in contemporary narratives. The work also highlights regional Gothic, feminist perspectives, and the AIDS narrative, featuring authors such as Sarah Waters and Jeanette Winterson among others.
