"Gothic Science Fiction is a lively, trenchant and intelligent book. With cogent analyses of everything from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to Christopher Nolan's reinvention of The Dark Knight, Sian MacArthur's book is a study prodigal in ideas, communicated with enthusiasm. It makes a variety of innovative points about a familiar genre, and utilises her thorough knowledge of the field in a provocative fashion." - Barry Forshaw, author of British Gothic Cinema and BFI Classics: The War of the Worlds
