"The House of Usher" and its literary progeny have not lacked for tenants in the century and a half since: writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Stephen King have taken rooms in the haunted houses of American fiction. Dale Bailey traces the haunted house tale from its origins in English gothic fiction to the paperback potboilers of the present, highlighting the unique significance of the house in the domestic, economic, and social ideologies of our nation. The author concludes that the haunted house has become a powerful and profoundly subversive symbol of everything that has gone nightmarishly awry in the American Dream. 606 $aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHaunted houses in literature 606 $aPopular literature$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aGhost stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror tales, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNightmares in literature 606 $aHome in literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHaunted houses in literature. 615 0$aPopular literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aGhost stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror tales, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNightmares in literature. 615 0$aHome in literature. 676 $a813.009/355 700 $aBailey$b Dale$01806611 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959397303321 996 $aAmerican nightmares$94355890 997 $aUNINA
