Reviews

This study offers an incredibly comprehensive and detailed analysis of contemporary women's Gothic fiction. Wisker's ability to categorise the various strains of contemporary women's writing into their relevant Gothic subgenres creates an orderly and fascinating catalogue of research that is not only beneficial to scholars working in such areas but also a true delight to read! (Donna Mitchell, The Gothic Imagination, February, 2017)
