The gothic is a poetics in constant mutation that, through imagination, thematizes fears, anxieties and the priorities of a historic time. These are the images that involve the female characters in Patrícia Melo’s novel, Mulheres empilhadas. They inhabit the locus of a dystopian curse, as victims of crimes, sexual violence and the very erasure of their lives. Merging reality and fiction, Melo brings a dystopian narrative to the realm of the gothic poetics, in which imagination manifests itself by means of discrimination of politics, of religion, and of gender. Such power regimes generate fear and insecurity as means of control, thus, turning societies into dystopian models of aggression.
