In this seminar we will have a look at uncanny, spooky and sometimes slightly gory texts written after 1900. Among many others, we will discuss concepts such as the gothic, hauntology, and the role of women in the horror genre. The selection of texts ranges from poetry of the early Modernist period via the pulp horror fiction of the mid-20th century to postmodern novels and films.
Students are asked to get their own copies of:
Susan Hill - The Woman in Black
John Harding - Florence & Giles
