In his classic study Supernatural Horror in Literature, H. P. Lovecraft discusses the emergence of what he called spectral literature-literature that involves the gothic themes of the supernatural found in the past but also considers modern society and humanity. Beyond indicating how authors of such works derived pleasure from a sense of cosmic atmosphere, Lovecraft did not elaborate on what he meant by the term spectral as a form of haunted literature concerned with modernity.
