He also did a wonderful Jane Eyre cover during those years. I’m really enjoying looking at your blog. I’ve pinned a couple of the covers to my ‘A Gothic Sensibility’ Pinterest board. Hope that’s okay.

I loved it and have beeen looking for it ever since.

Iris Bromige did not write gothic novels. In this book, the heroine, Ann Forrester, never ‘slept in fear and woke in terror’, and Mrs Pendine died of a stroke in her eighties – nothing sinister or strange. It’s a good story, and a gentle romance. Nothing gothic about it!

It does transcend feminism and dogma, but is too dark.

Honestly, I never liked any of the Bronte sisters. So my opinion is probably biased and doesn’t do justice to a recognized classic.

And thanks for the link to the review blog. Looks awesome :)

Gives you a good feel for the way people lived in remote parts of Britain hundreds of years ago.

Sorry I’ve not replied sooner but I’ve been taking a break from all things computer related for a while! I’ve been reading lots though and should have some more reviews up soon. Have you read any good gothics lately you’d recommend? As for my age… well lets just say I’m about the same vintage as most of the books on this site, though perhaps a little less well preserved! Best, Sara

My name is Sara too, and beside the name I also share a passion for those wonderful old gothics you write about here with such love and dedication :) The only problem is, where I live (Slovenia), it’s extremely difficult next to impossible to find gothic suspense/romance novels around easily, so the only thing I can do is order them from ebay from elswhere, where they are more readily available, so thank God for the internet :) Well, just wanted to tell you, I love your site, and faithfully follow it and every now and again I think to myself, “I’ve just got to check My love Haunted Heart to see if Sara’s already written about a new book!” So I’m very happy to read such a great site being written by a true gothic paperback lover like you. Just out of curiosity, if it’s not too personal, I often wonder how old you might be, as the way you write, I would think of you as a more mature, well-versed person with experience in writing, but you also have a site very-well designed which makes me think of you as younger person….just wondering…I’m 25 by the way. Well, anyway, keep up the great work and I’ll keep enjoying reading your great site! Sara :D
