I'm noting this for myself for later, so I don't lose it, but you can have it too:

"A girl and a house: the gothic novel" by papersky.

Cool. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books, and I've actually read The Embroidered Sunset, which may be a first for me reading posts about obscure genres. Perhaps I shall look up some of these others, as well.

Awesome. I went through a period of several years where I read gothics all the time and I just reacquired a couple of favorites recently :)

...and goddamn it, that made me think about how to make gothic romance work in sunshiny not-old Southern California and now I have an idea :P

I have a special love for them, which I can't even explain.

(And Saturnalia is, well, a clockwork Gothic.)

Maybe it's just that I've read a lot of Chandler lately, but I think S. California would be an excellent setting for a gothic.

Oh, I enjoy a good Gothic novel, too, though for years I had avoided reading Jane Eyre. (Even though I mostly exhausted the English Lit classics before I reached teenagerhood, which was odd.) I think it was that it starts out with such horrible, unfair treatment of Jane, and as a young'un I was particularly sensitive to that. I enjoyed it a lot as an adult.

But now I have some new reads to add to my list! Thank you!
