South African Gothic
The term ‘Gothic’ has rarely been brought to bear on contemporary South African fictions, appearing too fanciful for the often overtly political writing of apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa. As the first book-length exploration of Gothic impulses in South African literature, this volume accounts for the Gothic currents that run through South African imaginaries from the late-nineteenth century onwards. South African Gothic identifies an intensification in Gothic production that begins with the nascent decline of the apartheid state, and relates this to real anxieties that arise with the unfolding of social and political change. In the context of a South Africa unmaking and reshaping itself, Gothic emerges as a language for long-suppressed histories of violence, and for ongoing experiences at odds with utopian images of the new democracy. Its function is interrogative and ultimately creative: South African Gothic challenges narrow conceptions of the status quo to drive at alternative, less exclusionary visions.
Patchwork to Healing
With each patchwork quilt, she seeks to heal broken hearts . . . Rebecca Mills doesn’t create her beautiful quilts to keep busy; she needs to make them. Piecing the intricate designs gives her purpose, providing comfort to those who receive them and relieving her deep-seated guilt—if only for a little while. When her emotionally detached foster brother, Ben Daly, returns to York Harbor, Maine, he reopens old wounds, creating a pattern of pain and bitterness, and reigniting the love Rebecca thought she’d long ago cut from her heart. But can Rebecca fulfill their foster mother’s dying wish, or will the delicate patchwork of her life be torn apart by the painful scars from her past?

Fractured Narratives and Pandemic Identities
The book considers how identities have become more fractured since COVID-19, by thinking of COVID-19 in relation to other crises (economic, social, digital, and ecological) and by drawing parallels to literature, cinema, and visual art. COVID-19 was a type of apocalypse, a catastrophic destructive event that produced dystopian measures in its wake and drew uncanny parallels to dystopic works of literature and speculative fiction. Yet the pandemic was apocalyptic in another sense too. The word apocalypse derives from apokalupsis, which means disclosure or uncovering. In this way, COVID-19 also revealed the dystopian processes already at work in the world, including digital forms of surveillan...
