I had a class in college called "The Gothic Imagination in Film and Fiction", with a lot of crossover into your idea here. I'd be very happy to send you/share my old reader and syllabus, if you're interested.

I would *love* to see the syllabus, for sure. The reader is a maybe, only because I might already have some of what's in it -- is there a listing of the contents on the syllabus?

*g* The syllabus is actually *in* the reader, IIRC. It's the first page. I will attempt to dig it out and will report back. I'm going through my bookshelves tonight anyway.

I was right, the syllabus (3 pages) is *in* the reader, along with the list of course requirements (2 pages).

I'd be happy to send (or bring!) the reader to you, but I'm not all that enthusiastic about retyping all these pages. Hm. Maybe I could scan them? Whaddaya think? What would be most helpful?

BTW, the reader includes selections by Robert Thomson, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Edgar Allan Poe, and Paul Bowles (some of the most disturbing stuff I've ever read), in addition to a variety of scholarly articles on horror movies, AIDS, multiple personality disorder, and a number of other gothic topics.

No retyping necessary. And no rush. You could certainly bring the reader with you, or send it when you send the XF DVDs. Scanning in the syllabus would be fine, but only if you've got the equipment ready to hand; it's not worth going to any significant trouble over, really.

Thank you for offering!
