This is the book for everyone who loves modern Gothic and wants to
know where the vampires, ghouls, haunted houses and zombies all
began. It takes each element of the Gothic, from the settings of
castles and forests to the werewolves and ghosts who infest them,
and uses extracts from the original classics as illustrations - and
to encourage readers to go on and explore these wonderful works.It
is an ideal primer for those studying the Gothic in Key Stages 3 or
4 or A-level: but it is also to be read for the sheer enjoyment. It
contains 11 complete short stories from the masters of gothic
horror including Edgar Allen Poe, H G Wells,And H P Lovecraft -
some familiar, some found mouldering in the crypts - so forming an
anthology of some of the best chilling tales of all time. It uses
Harry Potter and the Twilight series to framework gothic
story-telling and explore the history of the genre. Ideal for
school and college students studying the Gothic.
