Contemporary creative writers, intellectuals, photographers, painters and other artists have all contributed to this volume exploring the idea of "gothic" in New Zealand culture. From Martin Edmond's abandoned houses, to Ian Lochhead's Victorian corrugated iron structures, to Otis Frizzell's tattoos, from Peter Jackson's movie-making to ghost paintings - there's plenty of it. As the editors suggest, gothic is "endemic to New Zealand's self-representation."

Misha Kavka teaches film, television and media studies at the University of Auckland. Jennifer Lawn and Mary Paul teach literature at the Albany Campus of Massey University in Auckland. Mary Paul is the author of Her Side of the Story: Readings of Mander, Mansfield & Hyde, co-editor of The New Poets: Initiatives in New Zealand Poetry, and New Women's Fiction. The book grew out of the editors' teaching and research following an "Antipodean Gothic Conference" at Massey Univeristy, Albany, in 2002. They have extended their interests beyond the literary or strictly academic, taking in NZ culture in a broad sense.
