註釋

This book is the very first critical monograph devoted solely to American horror fiction that focuses on ten women and two other people whose output was identified as women’s fiction.
This book will introduce readers to twelve diverse authors, many of whom have remained on the margins of the American publishing industry or whose fiction has been relegated to different genres (such as urban fantasy or speculative fiction).
Whilst this book focuses on themes associated with gender roles and identities, sex and sexuality, body and corporeality, kinship and parenthood, and investigates topics left outside canonical horror fiction (which is often synonymous with white male authors), it is structured along familiar themes of haunted houses, monsters, vampires, and ghosts, so as not to create a “sub-canon” or “counter-canon” of female horror by replicating the gesture in which women’s contribution is subsumed under larger thematic clusters of domesticity, private sphere, and the so-called “womanly concerns.” Instead, it looks at how family and intimacy are handled in narratives thematically associated with mainstream horror.
