In this episode, we take a high-level view of what the Gothic does in the twenty-first century. How is this different from what's come before? Using three pieces of literary criticism, we apply the theory to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher", and two of its recent adaptations, Mike Flanagan's TV series of the same name, and What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher.
