This article is my early attempt at theorising Asian Gothic. Far from offering the complete picture, it should rather be treated as an exploratory journey through some potentially gothic territories of Asian literatures. The article is limited to a part of Asia only, focusing on East, South-East and South Asia with the exclusion of Japan (as Japanese Gothic is discussed separately in the collection). The texts discussed here will only provide the reader with a very sketchy idea of the gothic dimensions of the region but hopefully this can serve as a starting point for further ruminations on the subject.
