I am a proud mom of two humans and three doggies, one of which resembles a bat. I have been drawn to the dark since early childhood, when I used to read Stephen King novels and worry my parents… a lot. As a Gothic academic I am obsessed with the nineteenth century, with aesthetics, spatial analysis. My latest research has to do with Pagan/ritualistic Gothic in Midnight Mass, Hereditary and Midsommar, as well as with Botanical Gothic. I am co-chairing the III Congreso Internacional en Literatura y Estudios Góticos, to be held this December at the University of Costa Rica.
