| book description |

After 9/11, the world felt the â€œshock and aweâ€ of the War on Terror. But that war also exploded inside novels, films, comics, and gaming. Danel Olson investigates why the paranormal, ghostly, and conspiratorial entered such media between 2002-2022, and how this Gothic presence connects to the most recent theories on PTSD. Set in New York/Gotham, Afghanistan, Iraq, and CIA black sites, the traumatic and weird works interrogated here ask how killing affects the killers.Â The protagonists probed are artillery, infantry, and armored-cavalry soldiers;Â military intelligence; the Air Force; counter-terrorism officers of the NYPD, NCIS, FBI,Â and CIA; and even the ultimate crime-fighting vigilante, Batman.
