Body Gothic Corporeal Transgression in Contemporary Literature and Horror Film Xavier Aldana Reyes Since the mainstreaming of horror in the 1970s, journalists have warned against the dangers of increasingly explicit forms of violent entertainment. Xavier Aldana Reyes takes a very different stance in Body Gothic by celebrating the transgressive qualities of visceral texts. He considers relevant popular literary and filmic movements of the past three decades and reads them as updates in a long Gothic tradition that goes back to the eighteenth century. This book contains case studies of key texts in splatterpunk, body horror, the new avant-pulp, the slaughterhouse novel, torture porn and surgical horror. Xavier Aldana Reyes is Research Fellow in English (Gothic Studies) at Manchester Metropolitan University. His work has appeared in international peer-reviewed journals such as Gothic Studies, Horror Studies and The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies.
