Contemporary Women's Gothic Fiction: Carnival, Hauntings and Vampire Kisses by Gina Wisker

vermilionred's review against another edition

2.0

I really don't know how you write a whole book on Contemporary Women's Gothic Fiction while never once mentioning Shirley Jackson or Tanith Lee. It wasn't a time period issue -- the author picked up on Du Maurier & Rhys without issue. It's just this bizarre gaping hole through the middle of half the book.
