More than just spooky, moonlit castles and morbid graveyards, the Gothic represents a vibrant, emergent perspective on the Anthropocene. In this volume, more than a dozen scholars move beyond longstanding perspectives on the Anthropocene--such as science fiction and apocalyptic narratives--to show that the Gothic offers a unique (and dark) interpretation of events like climate change, diminished ecosystems, and mass extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmbracing pop cultural phenomena like \u003ci\u003eTrue Detective\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJaws\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as topics from the New Weird and prehistoric shark fiction to ruin porn and the \"monstroscene,\" \u003ci\u003eDark Scenes from Damaged Earth\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the continuing vitality of the Gothic while opening important new paths of inquiry. These essays map a genealogy of the Gothic while providing fresh perspectives on the ongoing climate chaos, the North\/South divide, issues of racialization, dark ecology, questions surrounding environmental justice, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Fred Botting, Kingston U; Timothy Clark, U of Durham; Rebecca Duncan, Linnaeus U; Michael Fuchs, U of Oldenburg, Germany; Esthie Hugo, U of Warwick; Dawn Keetley, Lehigh U; Laura R.
