Abstract
Abstract Many nineteenth-century American authors such as Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville held neo-gnostic affinities, according to scholarship, and many twentieth- and twenty-first century American authors have also been interpreted as neo-gnostic. There are many neo-gnostic elements in contemporary fiction and poetry, for instance, in the works of Robinson Jeffers and science fiction works by authors including Philip K. Dick and William Gibson, as well as Thomas Pynchon and Cormac McCarthy. Horror fiction, through authors including H. P. Lovecraft and Thomas Ligotti, can be seen in a neo-gnostic context. Neo-gnosticism emerges in contemporary fiction as a set of intellectual “bricks” including concepts like hostile society, archons, and so forth.
