Bloom, C. (2010). Gothic histories: the taste for terror, 1764 to the present. Continuum.

"In the middle of the eighteenth century the Gothic became the universal language of architecture, painting and literature, expressing a love not only of ruins, decay and medieval pageantry, but also the drug-induced monsters of the mind... Gothic Histories is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Gothic and its literary double, in the horror genre, leading the reader from their origins... to the very different worlds of Hannibal Lecter and Goth culture." - from publisher
