 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Article body[edit]
In more recent scholarships, critics have identified certain works as New Urban Gothic.[1] These novels possess the qualities of the urban gothic novel while moving the setting to include more diverse urban spaces.[1] For example, Gina Wisker identifies Sandi Tan's The Black Isle (2012) as an example of an urban gothic set in Singapore.[2] In the novel, Singapore exists as a Gothic city haunted by the ghosts of war and colonialism.[2] The film Suzhou River (2000) also uses Gothic elements to depict the city of Shanghai.[3] Urban gothic elements from the Victorian era carry over to twenty-first century dystopian novels, such as The City and the City by China Miéville.[4]
From the late 1980s urban Gothic-influenced comics were the basis for a number of films that drew on dark city landscapes, including: Batman (1989), The Crow (1994), From Hell (2001)[5]
