Reviews
“One of the greatest achievements of Andrew Hock Soon Ng’s volume is the combination of different fields of study in order to investigate the palpable connection between self and space in the texts. The ambiguity of this connection, explored in detail throughout the book, is emphasized in all of the chapters. … It is a valuable contribution to both literary and film studies and a useful reading for scholars interested in the bordering fields of psychology, spatial and gender studies.” (Zsuzsanna Nagy-Szalóki, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, Vol. 24 (1), 2018)
"Andrew Hock Soon Ng moves with authority through the densely populated terrain of gothic literature and film. His argument puts a range of theoretical approaches - psychoanalysis, architectural studies, gender theory and more - into conversation with each other, in a series of analyses that drew me into their details and also made me think again about big questions. His readings of works I thought I knew left me wanting to re-engage them, to think once more about the shaping power of sheer physical space in gothic fictions,and about the staying power of gothic in our collective imagination." - Donna Heiland, Emerson College, USA and author of Gothic and Gender: An Introduction
