The Spectral WestSuper-Nature and the Gothic in the Western Film\nAuthor(s): Keith McDonald, Wayne Johnson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Anthem Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Anthem Press\nISBN-13: 9781839987922, 978-1839987922\nSynopsis\nThis book considers the presence of the supernatural and Gothic elements of the Western on screen. These dark and sinister undertones often exist in Western narratives to draw attention to the ever-present issue of death and its haunting resonance which characters encounter. This book examines this through key historic moments in Western film and its contemporary incarnations. The book detects imposing correlations in themes and currents between the Gothic and the Western relating to existential crisis and a loss of faith in ideologies and institutions. These themes represent the tensions between the old and the new, the deranged insistence on civility and order in a chaotic landscape, disillusionment and the shattering of faith in the natural ordes
