Reviews for Ecogothic
'As a platform for the development of a distinct ecoGothic theoretical framework, this volume certainly provides some tantalizing ideas, but equally, it invites further academic study surrounding 'dark ecology' as a convention to explore contemporary socio-political anxieties.' Teresa Fitzpatrick, The Dark Arts Journal Volume 3.1 April 2017
