About Black Wood Women and the History of Gothic Fiction - Crafty Cove

Join authors and gothic literature experts, Dr Michael Stewart and Dr Claire O’Callaghan, as they discuss Michael’s latest gothic novel, Black Wood Women, and where it sits within the canon of gothic literature. Where did gothic fiction come from and why did it catch fire? And how has it developed and adapted to the cultural prominence it enjoys today?

Black Wood Women is a brilliant new gothic novel about the hunt for the last wolf in England and the coven of persecuted women who are trying to save it from the men who have put a price on its head. ‘Visceral, twisting, propulsive’ - Stacey Halls.
