- Abstract
"Gothic Remixed: Monster Mashups and Frankenfictions in 21st-Century Culture" by Megen de Bruin-Molé explores the genre of Frankenfiction and its impact on contemporary literature. The book delves into the complexities of defining Frankenfictions, which are seen as adaptations, mashups, parodies, and satires that challenge traditional notions of fidelity to the original text. The author examines the evolution of iconic monsters in different mediums and discusses how the addition of monsters to classic novels can provide a fresh perspective and critique outdated elements. The book also explores the use of historical images in Frankenfiction as a means of telling hidden histories and challenging dominant narratives. While the book provides a comprehensive analysis of Frankenfiction, it lacks a discussion of the politics behind the term "mainstream" and the elitism associated with it. Overall, "Gothic Remixed" is an informative and engaging resource for those interested in remix and adaptation studies.
