Review Quotes
Elizabeth Miller, Memorial University of Newfoundland
“With careful and meticulous textual analysis and in clear and succinct prose, Senf traces Gothic patterns, images and themes throughout Bram Stoker’s significant body of fiction. From his earliest short stories in the 1870s through his major novels (including, of course, Dracula), Senf demonstrates how Stoker developed a deeper sense of the Gothic as a means of social commentary. This is an invaluable companion for readers of Victorian Gothic.”
The Gothic Imagination
"The strength of Senf’s work lies in her coverage of novels and short stories that are seldom read, some of which are even rarely published. Her investigation of novels such as The Lady of the Shroud and The Lair of the White Worm alongside lesser known works like The Man, Miss Betty and The Jewel of Seven Stars draws convincing lines between Stoker’s adventures and romances, and his better known tales of terror."
