Hey Dewi, I just found you via Facebook. I really like your blog, it’s brilliant.
Hope you’re well!
Lowri 🙂
Thanks! I’ll add you post haste…
Dewi, what a wonderful site! I’m thoroughly enjoying your articles.
You may be interested in my blog of new Victorian ghost tales and my book which has just won Gothic Readers Book of the Year. Kind regards, Paul

Thanks for the heads up!
Wow, this blog is amazing. Thank you so much for putting this together, I think it could provide me with reading for at least the new couple of years or so! I have been trying to put together a list of nineteenth-century texts featuring monsters that are neither vampires nor werewolves for my PhD, I don’t suppose you have any recommendations?
Thanks for the kind words!
Off the top of my head, I recall that H.G. Wells and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have quite a few crypto-zoology stories that might be the kind of thing you’re looking for. W.H. Hodgson also has a number of weird creatures in his fiction. Have you read Kelly Hurley’s book The Gothic Body? That’s chock-full of amazing critical analysis, but also flags up loads of obscure late-Victorian texts…
Maybe other readers could add recommendations…?
Hi, Dewi. You might be interested in my blog Frank T. Zumbachs Mysterious World. If you click `About´ you will find a list of the prose and poetry it contains, most in the gothic and ghostly taste. Kind regards, Frank
