Abstract
Appupen’s The Snake and the Lotus is a dystopic work that instantiates, the essay argues, a posthuman Gothic. The horror of this version of the Gothic is inaugurated by a collapsed world, and is Appupen’s first move. This environmental theme in the text, cast as an ecological Gothic, examines the transformation of the city into a monstrous structure. The second part of the essay turns to the reconfigurations of the human form and a monstrous sexuality. In the third section I argue that Appupen’s vision of this dystopia concludes with critical posthuman ecology, marked by coexistence and mutual dependence.
