About this magazine
You Are Gothic But You Don't Know It is a Gothic literature magazine that begins with a question: why are we drawn to certain stories, images and characters, and why do they stay with us?
In each issue, I bring cultural works into conversation with our experiences and the questions emerging from my research. Identity, belonging, care, loss and transformation are some of the themes we revisit through different readings.
Each issue brings together three interconnected articles and can be read independently. It also forms part of a wider journey: a map of five symbolic catacombs that we will explore throughout the seasons.
You can begin with whichever theme resonates with you most, follow the connections between articles or return to earlier issues with new questions.
What some experts say about my magazine
Xavier Aldana Reyes, Reader in English Literature and Film at Manchester Metropolitan University and founder member of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies
A magazine with so much preparation and hard work as this one deserves to get to its audience. Alicia’s review of Horror, A Literary History, published by The British Library and edited by me, is a beautiful and detailed tribute that I deeply appreciate. I especially enjoyed her translations of some of the sections, which perfectly get the message across.
