Nightmare on Main Street: Angels, Sadomasochism, and the Culture of Gothic is a book by Mark Edmundson, published in 1997 by Harvard University Press. From the blurb:

Nightmare on Main Street depicts a culture suffused with the Gothic, not just in novels and films but even in the nonfictive realms of politics and academic theories, TV news and talk shows, various therapies, and discourses on AIDS and the environment. Gothic’s first wave, in the 1790s, reflected the truly terrifying events unfolding in revolutionary France. What, Edmundson asks, does the ascendancy of the Gothic in the 1990s tell us about our own day?
