'This book is full of insights into how children's literature reflects and refracts social tensions and anxieties. It takes us on a tour through some of the dark spaces of the early twenty-first century, and is written with vigour and excitement as well as scholarly accuracy.' David Punter, Professor of Poetry, University of Bristol Outlines a new critical paradigm for reading children's Gothic literature and film This is the first monograph to bring together the fields of Gothic Studies and children's fiction to analyse a range of popular and literary works for children published since 2000. It offers a completely new way of reading children's Gothic that counters the dominant critical positions in both Gothic Studies and children's literature criticism. This book contends that the Gothic, as it is repurposed in children's fiction, is a creative force through which to imagine positive self-transformation. It rejects the pedagogical model of children's literature criticism, which analyses and assess works based on what or how they teach the child, and instead draws on the theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Rosi Braidotti and Benedict Spinoza to develop the theme of 'nomadic subjectivity'. The book covers texts from popular culture, novels by much-neglected female writers and more celebrated works such as Frances Hardinge's The Lie Tree, Neil Gaiman's Coraline, Darren Shan's Zom-B, Jamila Gavin's Coram Boy, Paula Morris's Ruined, Derek Landy's Skulduggery Pleasant and Anthony Horowitz's The Power of Five. It also discusses films including Frankenweenie and Paranorman. This broad scope allows for a clear demonstration of the broad relevance of nomadic subjectivity for children's literature criticism. Chloé Germaine Buckley is Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University. She has published on children's Gothic, Weird fiction, witches and the postcolonial Gothic. She is co-editor, with Sarah Ilott, of Telling it Slant: Critical Approaches on Helen Oyeyemi (2017).
