Nicholas was insecure. He was a daydreamer, wishing for romance when he was told, over and over, that he could not have it. He was a toy, pulled and pushed, wanted and used, dragged along yet held at a distance. Nicholas fell in with the out crowd, and loved every minute of it. He fell in love and got left behind, but not before she changed him forever. This is an irrational, emotional love story for the teenager inside all of us. The music is loud, and you’re about to be pushed into the pit.What some people are saying…“I should have put you in therapy.” – my mother“I insist that you use my real name.” – Kevin“Finally, a title that doesn’t scare people off.

Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of 'Happy Gothic'


Catherine Spooner - 2015
    Catherine Spooner reads a comprehensive range of popular texts from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and Tim Burton's film adaptations of Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows to fashion, advertising, tourism, TV makeover shows, stand-up comedy, sitcom and children's media. In doing so, she argues that conventional academic and media accounts of Gothic culture have overlooked the significance of this celebratory strain of 'Happy Gothic'.Identifying a shift in subcultural sensibilities following media coverage of the Columbine shootings, Spooner suggests that changing perceptions of Goth subculture have shaped the development of 21st-century Gothic. Reading these contemporary trends back into their sources, Spooner also explores how they serve to highlight previously neglected strands of comedy and romance in earlier Gothic literature.
