In this special episode (yay!), hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss Anne Rivers Siddon's 1978 novel The House Next Door.
Episode Highlights: Katherine talks about the Southern Gothic aesthetic, Anthony suggests that the book deserves to be seen as three acts each composed of three mini-acts, and we praise the novel's ability to deliver a quiet (and quite terrifying) horror.
A Dose of Scholarship: For a nice introduction to the nuances of the Gothic in American texts (including the Southern Gothic), we suggest The Cambridge Companion to American Gothic. And, as always when we think about the Gothic in American popular culture, we recommend turning to Bernice M. Murphy's work.
