Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-28 00:00:00 Kurtis Ksiazek This is one of the few truly academic texts that I would recommend to laypeople. It does a excellent job laying out its theoretical framework and presenting a clear, even entertaining argument. Halberstam's connections between depictions of race, gender and sexuality are wonderfully done - they are useful for anyone trying to make similar connections in whatever genre they've chosen for their project. I especially liked how she extended the Gothic not to the overtly gothically-inspired materials of the twentieth-century, instead moving onto to both high and low horror films. Given the role late eighteenth-century Gothic novels had in the literary hierarchy at the time, a connection to the Candyman films is a brilliant continuation.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-09-09 00:00:00 Matthew Odom One of the finest pieces of scholarship I've ever read. If you're interested in a complex study of the Gothic and Monstrosity written in clear, jargon-free prose, you must read this book.
