Book Reviews of Religion and Its Monsters
Book Review: Gothic Monsters
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book as a supplemental text for a class on Gothic literature. This book narrowly focuses on monsters found in religious literature, particuarly the Judeo-Christrian tradition; however, Hindu texts are also mentioned. These contrasted with various texts dealing with monsters. Nineteenth and twentieth century literature is used. Overall, the book is relatively short and narrowly focused.
