The Society of the Spectre. What Haunts Capitalism?
What monsters lurk beneath the surface of respectable society? In this episode of World Socialist Radio, we explore the dark imagination of socialist literature, where Gothic shadows, grotesque figures and tales of horror expose the brutal realities of class society. From the spectres that haunt the social order to the everyday terrors of exploitation and alienation, we examine how socialist writers have used the language of horror to reveal a world more disturbing than fiction.
