For people who read, write, watch gothic horror, you may really love this interview with author Catriona Ward. It is fascinating. I especially loved the argument for the usefulness of horror: It provides preparation for vulnerable.

Sweeney Todd, or the String of Pearls (1847), AKA The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, most famous of the 19th century penny dreadfuls, lurid crime and horror pot-boilers published in weekly instalments with cliff-hanger endings.

This is where popular fiction begins.

Wonderfully sensationalistic and gruesome, and delightfully breathless and overheated. Sweeney Todd is an epic villain.

Ann Radcliffe’s The Italian (1796). One of the masterpieces of the first wave of gothic fiction. Absurdly complicated and melodramatic and and the characterisations are crude.

The book does have considerable strengths though. She is exceptionally good at creating suspense and in ratcheting up the tension. And a reader in the 1790s would have found it easier to empathise with characters obsessed with family honour.

Francis Lathom’s 1798 gothic novel The Midnight Bell is one of the “horrid books” referenced in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey and they were indeed real novels.

And this one is really quite interesting. It consists of stories within stories within stories all fitted together like Chinese boxes but they all eventually form a coherent whole.
