This is so well researched! The romantic notion of gothic and spooky enthrall me. Love the information and detail you provide. I've never heard of Ann Radcliff and now I want to read one of hers.

Brilliant article! I am a lover of all things gothic, too!

I haven’t read House of Leaves. I bought a copy many years ago and my sweet, perfectly behaved cat Willow, attacked it. Any time the book was in the same room as her, my gentle fluffy kitty would violently claw at it. It sounds silly but I didn’t read it because of her bizarre reaction!

I’d love an entire article on Ann Radcliff and any other gothic sub-genres.

Thanks so much for your article- I always enjoy your writing 💜

There's something about that book your cat seems to know that we don't! The Ann Radcliff article is in the works. Thanks for your kind words.
