"I was reading The Bible a lot through my 20s, mostly the Old Testament, just because I was knocked out by the language and the stories. I felt that the God being talked about there, who was this insane, vindictive patriarch – it was kind of thrilling, and titillated something in me at the time."

If you love gothic, read this.
I had to read this for my English module at uni, and am really glad I did.
On the surface its really gothic and really creepy. Very well written and the author paints a great picture of someone going insane.
Underneath the surface, this is an attack on patriarchy in the enlightenment period. Knowing this makes it a completely different read, not so much gothic and more feminist and historic. There's a clear aim that to show the reader how enlightened men drive women insane.
On a side note, Charlotte gives us the first image of a creeping scary thing, way before we see this in horror movies in the 20th century.
