English Gothic: A Century of Horror Cinema by Jonathan Rigby

Very simply: best book on British horror cinema ever. Witty, erudite and hilariously funny. Every collection should have a copy.

English Gothic by Jonathan Rigby

A thorough reference. Witty, catty, and quite taken with breasts, for example, "she had little to offer but her capacious breasts to the camera"!
