OAKES, David Ashby. "Twentieth Century American Gothic Literature as Cultural Artifact: Science and Technology as Sources of Destabilization in the Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, and Stephen King" Dissertation Abstracts International 59:5 (1998): 1573A (Texas Christian University). Gothic literature acts as "a cultural artifact reflecting the fears of the time in which it is written, and also possessing the same capability for the time in which it is read. Many of the darkest aspects of society reflected by American Gothic fiction in the twentieth century stem from science and technology." Substantiates this thesis using texts by Lovecraft, Matheson, and King.

________. Science and Destabilization in the Modern American Gothic: Lovecraft, Matheson, and King. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 2000. Contributions to the study of science. The Gothic, especially the modern Gothic, challenges social and cultural forms, and plays upon those fears that reflect its times. For our own times, it is science and scientific development that has become the major area of fears that destabilize the reader's faith and beliefs. Studies the effect of such destabilization by examining the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, and Stephen King. These authors draw heavily upon the classical Gothic tradition while modifying that tradition to arouse the fears of a modern audience.
