Exploring the Intersections of Horror and Romance in Gothic Novels

In this chapter of the podcast episode, the speakers discuss their shared love for gothic romance and how horror and romance intersect in that genre. They talk about their grandmothers reading books by Victoria Holt and Barbara Michaels, and mention a particular book with a provocative cover featuring a ghost and a naked man. They discuss the idea of encountering the unknown and how it can be scary, and also touch upon the negative reputation of horror and how television shows like Buffy and The X-Files helped change the perception of the genre.
