Stalin’s Ghosts: Gothic Themes in Early Soviet Literature - Russian Transformations: Literature, Culture and Ideas New edition
Muireann Maguire
Stalin’s Ghosts examines the impact of the Gothic-fantastic on Russian literature in the period 1920-1940. The volume shows how Soviet authors drew on the traditional archetypes of the genre, such as the castle, the body, vampires, ghosts, villains, madness, and unnatural death, presenting a revisionist challenge to the view of Soviet literature as strictly rational.
