Reviews

‘Historically and culturally wide-ranging, Graveyard Gothic offers a scintillating scholarly unearthing of the multivalent site of the graveyard – a place of sentimental and morbid contemplation, commemoration, community celebration, portal between life and death, source of supernatural frisson, heterotopia, and necropolis. Exploring the multifarious intersections of the Gothic/horror plot and the graveyard plot, the essays in this groundbreaking collection are sure to lay the foundations for much future scholarship.’ Professor Carol Margaret Davison, editor of The Gothic and Death (2017) ‘Graveyard Gothic provides a definitive account of the role of the graveyard in the Gothic imagination. The graveyard’s place in poetry, fiction, TV, films, and video games is explored in detailed and persuasive depth. Insightful and scholarly, this volume makes a major contribution to the understanding of cultural history.’ Professor Andrew Smith, author of Gothic Death 1740-1914: A Literary History (2016) -- .
