“The range of this book — across literature, film and television — is truly extraordinary. An excellent addition to the literature on Gothic physicality, and one well informed by the necessary scientific and medical knowledge.” (David Punter, University of Bristol, UK) 

“A masterly and compelling autopsy of text and film, with cutting edge approaches to the Gothic corporeal.”(Marie Mulvey-Roberts, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK)

“This is a wonderful book, one that fills a longstanding gap in horror and Gothic studies. A thumpinggood read for a dark and stormy night.” (Joan Hawkins, Indiana University Bloomington, USA)

“Meticulously researched and well written, Gothic Dissections is a deliberate act of dismemberment and rich combinations.” (Gina Wisker, University of Brighton, UK)

“A thrilling dissective approach to the Gothic. Readers will prize the dizzying range of body parts on display.” (Laurence Talairach-Vielmas, University of Toulouse II, France)

“Gothic Dissections is as lively as it is systematic and comprehensive. The first to analyse Gothic culture from the perspective of the body’s anatomical features, the book spans a splendid range of disciplinary perspectives and media and cultural forms.” (Linda Badley, Middle Tennessee State University, USA)

“The body under investigation here is not the monolithic and integrated ‘Gothic body’ of earlier scholarship but the torn and dismembered body of the autopsy table; the authors’ critical attention as exacting as the process of anatomical dissection itself.” (Dale Townshend, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK)
