"This is a fascinating volume and a pioneering endeavor in the field of Gothic studies. It decentres the Gothic from its Eurocentric context and anchors it in primordial times of Arab and Islamic literary history and culture. Middle Eastern Gothics penetrates whole new geographies and new languages to critically explore the literature produced at pivotal historical junctures of the modern Middle East."

"This volume offers a brilliant and exciting intervention that embraces transnational regionalism as a challenge to the framework of globality and world literature. The various chapters draw together illuminating readings of key Gothic texts—in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish—with theories of genre and debates in Middle Eastern literatures. The critical attention to language and literary form cuts across the coordinates of north/south/east/west and provides a richly inspiring method of regional hauntology."
