Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker
A critical study of how Gothic aesthetics and the uncanny function in modern Japanese fiction, tracing the ways writers adapt Western Gothic tropes alongside indigenous supernatural traditions to explore anxieties about modernity, gender, nation, and the body; the book examines ghost stories, liminal figures, and ambiguous narratives that blur psychological and supernatural explanations, showing how urban space, technology, memory, and social change produce forms of haunting that illuminate cultural tensions and transformations in Japan.
