Robert Lennon?s Castle -- Chapter 3 Joyce Carol Oates? Carthage -- Chapter 4 Graphic Novels -- Chapter 5 Christopher Nolan?s The Dark Knight Trilogy. 330 $aAfter 9/11, the world felt the ?shock and awe? of the War on Terror. But that war also exploded inside novels, films, comics, and gaming. Danel Olson investigates why the paranormal, ghostly, and conspiratorial entered such media between 2002-2022, and how this Gothic presence connects to the most recent theories on PTSD. Set in New York/Gotham, Afghanistan, Iraq, and CIA black sites, the traumatic and weird works interrogated here ask how killing affects the killers. The protagonists probed are artillery, infantry, and armored-cavalry soldiers; military intelligence; the Air Force; counter-terrorism officers of the NYPD, NCIS, FBI, and CIA; and even the ultimate crime-fighting vigilante, Batman. 410 0$aPalgrave Gothic,$x2634-6222 606 $aFiction 606 $aGoth culture (Subculture) 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aSpace 606 $aCulture 606 $aWorld history 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aGothic Studies 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aFilm Studies 606 $aSpace and Place in Culture 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 610 $aUnited States 610 $aHistory 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aGoth culture (Subculture). 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aSpace. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aGothic Studies. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aFilm Studies. 615 24$aSpace and Place in Culture. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a306.09730905 700 $aOlson$b Danel$01126594 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910639883603321 996 $aGothic War on Terror$93003394 997 $aUNINA
