{"product_id":"9783837655599","title":"The Supernatural Media Virus","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the 1990s, the virus and the network metaphors have become increasingly popular, finding application in a broad range of everyday discourses, academic disciplines, and fiction genres. In this book, Rahel Sixta Schmitz defines and discusses a trope recurring in Gothic fiction: the supernatural media virus. This trope comprises the confluence of the virus, the network, and a deep, underlying media anxiety. This study shows how Gothic narratives such as \u003ci\u003eHouse of Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eThe Ring\u003c\/i\u003e feature the supernatural media virus to negotiate as well as actively shape imaginations of the network society and the dangers of a globalized, technologized world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"transcript","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65418421076317,"sku":null,"price":36.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9783837655599.jpg?v=1789942676","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9783837655599","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
