Since the Chinese translation of The Da Vinci Code was released in China in 2004, the "Dan Brown Craze" has swept across the country.

This is a book looking at Gothic literature and film and its relationship to society and culture. It spans the long twentieth century from Henry James's The Turn of the Screw (1898) to Sarah Waters's The Little Stranger (2009).

It includes topics such as children and our fears for them, terrorism and atrocity, sexuality and disease and the comedy of fear.
