Creating a Best Gothic Romance List
#49
paigenumber Wrote:Not all the books are by American writers. Many of them were English: Victoria Holt, Mary Stewart, Susan Howatch, Dorothy Eden, John Dickson Carr, Daphne du Maurier (you mentioned her works in other posts), Margaret Erskine, Norah Lofts, Jill Tattersall, and others. You may or may not be the only British member, but there are a few members around the world. I believe most of us are Americans. However, I recently moved to the UK and I would agree with you. It is so difficult to find these older Gothics. Either people in Britain have burned those books ages ago, or they are clinging tight to them. Sometimes your best bet is to request it from your local library.

You think the UK poses a challenge, you should try getting hold of old gothics in Australia.
If the library offers no joy try used book shops. I occasionally hit some luck that way.
