Nightmare on Main Street : Angels, Sadomasochism, and the Culture of Gothic
by
Mark Edmundson
Review
“Absorbing…The Gothic
thrives, Edmundson argues, in a world in which ‘those in authority--the
supposed exemplars of the good--are under suspicion,’ a world in which
cynicism (‘the conviction that the worst truth that you can come up with
about any person or event is the most consequential truth’) is a given…Drawing
upon his considerable knowledge of American and European literature, Edmundson
does a nimble job of situating the current Gothic craze in context with
philosophical developments, while at the same time assessing its social
consequences…”Nightmare on Main Street” is a provocative and often illuminating
book.”

 Frankenstein
: Or, the Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft
Shelley, Barry Moser (Illustrator), Joyce Carol Oates
Review
Frankenstein, loved by
many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as
Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read
it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose,
the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered doppelgänger
themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes
of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites
of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting
shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who
owes nothing to the overused movie image … but is rather the novel's charnel-house
composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power
... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath
as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the
world's strongest and most remarkable books." Includes an illuminating
afterword by Joyce Carol Oates.

The aristocratic vampire
that haunts the Transylvanian countryside has captivated readers' imaginations
since it was first published in 1897. Hindle asserts that Dracula depicts
an embattled man's struggle to recover his "deepest sense of himself as
