THE HAUNTED PRIORY
Stephen Cullen
"If one is to study the Gothic, some attention must be paid to the trade publications such as The Haunted Priory.  As a literary descendant of both Walpole’s and Reeves’ works, and as the first Gothic novel set in Spain, it provides a fascinating bridge between Radcliffes’ Mysteries of Udolpho and Lewis’ and Maturin’s works, The Monk and Melmoth the Wanderer.  In addition, feminist readers engaged with the female Gothic will find that the absence of women in The Haunted Priory encourages close study.  No matter what one’s interest in the Gothic, Zittaw’s publication of The Haunted Priory is cause for celebration."

THE SPECTRES
Sarah Wilkinson
"Wild, improbable, fantastic, cliché-ridden, overwrought, and crudely composed, THE SPECTRES is nevertheless a highly representative example of the cravings of the Gothic audience after 1800."

RIMUALDO; OR, THE CASTLE OF BADAJOS.
William-Henry Ireland
 “A grand, spooky, and marvelously device-ridden adventure that aficionados of the historical genre will love...The editor’s extensive notes and introduction provide historical perspective and insights into Ireland’s work and personality, as well as a glimpse at the period during which he wrote.”  Marlene Y. Satter Foreword Magazine (November-December 2005)

THE HISTORY OF GOTHIC PUBLISHING,1800-1835:Exhuming the Trade

Franz J Potter

To better understand and contextualise the twilight of the Gothic genre during the 1820s and 1830s, The History of Gothic Publishing, 1800-1835: Exhuming the Trade examines the disreputable aspects of the Gothic trade from its horrid bluebooks to the desperate hack writers who created the short tales of terror. From the Gothic publishers to the circulating libraries, this study explores the conflict between the canon and the twilight, and between the disreputable and the moral.
