Is Gothic literature dead?

I'm glad someone else thought Mrs. Danvers was sexually obsessed with Rebecca. There is a very powerful undercurrent in the bedroom scene.

That makes three of us! Not really surprising since Du Maurier appeared to be a closet Lesbian herself.

It's interesting though that this particular group is focused on the 20th Gothic Romance as an offshoot of contemporary women's love stories, when in fact it is the direct descendent of such highly sexually charged works, which have been cited in the past few posts, as well as Bram Stoker's notorious vampire shocker! I'm glad there are plenty of us with feet in both camps...it makes the dialogues and debates a little bit more fun.
