Gothic Science Fiction




Gothic science fiction is a subgenre of Science Fiction that, as the name suggests, also involves Gothic conventions. Some of the more obvious examples of the subgenre feature Vampire s explained in a science fiction context, commonly that vampires are Alien s or those infected by an alien disease. Some feature entire planets of vampires, or vampire-like creatures (such as the comic book '' Vampirella '').

Other examples of the subgenre feature other traditionally gothic tropes in new settings, such as:
  • Damsels in distress in faraway future

  • Gothic planetary romance

  • Gothic futuristic romance
