In this episode I'm joined by Caterina Liberace, who researches into the use of Victorian architecture and décor in twentieth and twenty-first century Gothic horror. We consider how the archetypal haunted house we now associate as a Gothic house, is an trans-Atlantic incarnation, and emerged after WWII. We think about how the country house exemplifies this, and how the house also acts as a vampiric institution, creating opportunities to think about how this space is represented in literature.

About my guest: Caterina earned her BA in History and International Relations from George Washington University and an MA in European History at UCL; She currently in her final year of Modern British History MPhil at the University of Oxford, and she will start her PhD in the autumn.

Check out Cat's suggestions:

Connie Willis - To Say Nothing of the Dog, The Doomsday Book
Silvia Moreno-Garcia - Mexican Gothic
Edith Wharton - Mr Jones, All Souls
E.F. Benson - How Fear Departed the Long Gallery
Shirley Jackson - The Haunting of Hill House
Terry Pratchett - Going Postal, Making Money, Raising Steam
