I would like to ask you to discuss those three Sirs....I am writing a thesis on narratives of darkness (Interview....and Dracula)...(I am sorry, I often mismatch the authors Anne Radcliff and Anne Rice...I think is a freudian slip, I wanted radcliff and got rice)...

I have realized after short time here that there are so to say two "gothics". definitely historical romantic of my understanding...starting with the A. Radcliff(or even earlier) and all those cheap(?) terror/horror stories with set imagery plus romantic movement and quality authors(to be very imprecise...)...now I see the diference with your conception dating to gothic music roots...these two overlap in so many things...but I see that Rice is closer to the second conception...I am not sure about it...I am familliar with the 19. century english gothic novel but it doesn´t help me...I miss the social and historical context of Rice....I don´t expect any science, but your feelings and inspiration, stream of consciosness...thank you
