Female-Authored Literature of the Neo-Gothic Internet?

Has anybody here read Kristina Pugliese's master’s thesis Female-Authored Literature of the Neo-Gothic Internet Enclave and Anglo-American Gothic Sentiment (2000)? The search feature doesn't seem to pull anything up. I know it's a long title and sounds like something that would put you to sleep but I just finished reading it and was surprised to find no discussions of it anywhere online. The thesis is a study of female authors involved in the 'net goth scene and examines why some females are attracted to the online goth community, what they get out of it, and what it has in common with older goth literature of the 1700 and 1800s. I know that a published thesis is obviously more obscure than a published book, and you can't buy this at Amazon, but I'm surprised that nobody here has discussed it--especially since the author obviously spent so much time studying gothic websites.

I did not find the thesis, but found Suriel's blogs and essays that were allegedly described in the thesis. Disturbing. This is what keeps me in the Goth world, although I try to remain in light: the world is bad, and it makes us sad. (For Storm Trooper: the world is bad and makes you mad. Me too . Sometimes).

Haven't read it, though I will go and try to find it. I'm a female-author though! Check out the blog if you want...the address is below.

I do read some of the female writing on Booksie, and a lot of the wonderful pieces are by gothic-inclined women. Interesting...
