Cryptomimesis: The Gothic and Jacques Derrida's Ghost Writing

Examines the intersection between Jacques Derrida's writing and the Gothic to theorize what the author calls Derrida's "poetics of the crypt." This title shows that Derrida's Specters of Marx owes much to the Gothic insistence on the power of haunting and explores how deconstruction can be thought of as the ghost or deferred promise of Marxism.
