‘This highly welcome and comprehensive study of Gothic cinema is marked by subtle generic distinctions, a superbly long historical range and a focus that moves widely and ably among different national cinemas. Aldana Reyes writes with style and verve, and establishes a proper scholarly framework for the study of Gothic cinema in all its variety as an aesthetic mode.’Professor David Punter, Senior Research Fellow, University of Bristol'Aldana Reyes offers an insightful and much-needed excavation of the dark history of the Gothic on film. Rigorously researched, engagingly written and providing new perspectives and understanding, this is a must-read for film and Gothic scholars alike.'
