Promoting Gothic studies since 1991

The International Gothic Association is a large family of academic researchers, students, artists and writers with a shared interest in all things Gothic. From the literary ghosts and vampires of the past, to the most contemporary representations of the strange, the horrific,  and the uncanny, our members have pioneered new research in Gothic Studies across disciplinary boundaries, genres, media, geographical locations and time periods.
