At first glance Fred Botting's Gothic looks like it is just going to be one of those dry little text books, but the truth is far from it. Gothic is an enthralling and melodramatic study of the fascinating and complex gothic genre. This is a must for any one interested in gothic either as an introduction or a reference.
