'McEvoy's rich, eloquent and compulsively readable account of Gothic tourism is set to define the field. Combining generous erudition with a knack for the entertaining anecdote, each page is crammed with fresh insights into this curious phenomenon, from the eighteenth-century delights of Horace Walpole's mansion Strawberry Hill to the modern thrills of ghost walks and scare attractions.' - Catherine Spooner, Reader in Literature and Culture, Lancaster University, UK
