A study of regional anxiety in postwar Gothic fiction, beyond the red scare.

The Haunted States of America reveals how the red scare exploited regional narrative traditions as it spread across the national imagination. In particular, Cold War anxieties found a welcome home in regional forms of Gothic fiction that already mediated anxieties about threats to local power structures: white supremacy, patriarchy, and colonialism, as well as capitalism. James Morgart argues that postwar Gothic fiction in the United States should be understood through these local anxieties and narratives first, before reading for national resonances. Through a series of localized readings--in the South, the Midwest, New England, New York, and California--Morgart reveals more than a century of regionalized angst behind the twentieth-century American Gothic.
