"Madness of Angels" and "Sandman"

The most recent readings I had to complete for class were "Madness of Angels" and "Sandman".  "Madness of Angels" is an example of a modernized gothic story because the author creating a crumbling universe set in London.  The setting was dirty, dark, and rainy which created a feeling of decay.  The author also used the supernatural in terms of the blue angels that made the main character a zombie-esque person.  Also, the story was uncanny because the main character lived in London before his resurrection and he recognized his home but no longer lived there.  In "Sandman" the author, Hoffman, writes with a traditional gothic style.  The setting is at night and Nathaniel is imprisoned by this idea of the Sandman.  He also falls in love with a robot who deceives him because she looks as if she is human.  "Sandman" also includes the uncanny because Nathaniel is horrified by the familiarity of the Sandman throughout the story.
