ENG 3402 Gothic Literature

Hi Class,

Wow, time flies when you talking vampires!

For Wednesday, please read:

1. Rice’s “Freniere” (AGT  349)

2. Ormandy’s “Smorgasbord for a Vampire” (in-class handout)

3. Define in your notebooks: ethics, vampire ethics

Here is my handout on Ethics: Ethics Primer–Gothic Literature

** I have posted the assignment sheet for the Final Essay under the ASSIGNMENTS menu tab.

*** And below are the graphic stories.

This is a bracingly bleak tale by Edward Gorey, from 1969. You may write your Final Essay on this short graphic story, but it is not as simple as it might appear:

Gorey-The-Iron-Tonic_f2011

If vampires are more to your “taste” then consider one, or both, of these online graphic novel/comics:

* Sarah Nelson: Vampire Phantasm (49 pages)

http://www.vermillionworks.com/vp/?p=125

* Bobby Crosby and Chris Crosby, Illustrated by Owen Gieni: Last Blood (first 32 pages)

http://lastblood.keenspot.com/

Spend some time figuring out how to turn pages. You might want to skim these to see which are to your liking.

Best,

Sean
