Review Quotes

Maier, Ayres, and the other authors in Neo-Gothic Narratives have taken an important and calculated step forward in a novel approach to the Gothic. I imagine other readers interested in the Gothic and adjacent fields (especially those concerned with contemporary work) will similarly feel that this volume is a benefit to the field and in understanding how representations of the Gothic have evolved into our modern world and ways in which scholarship of the genre might progress - Wesley Scott McMaster, Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts
