[Commentary/Analysis] True Gothic Form & Black Butler: Book of Murder

In school, I quite liked the Gothic novel. I like a lot of old literature, but the Gothic is something that has always drawn me in despite my abhorrent feelings towards horror.  As a work, the Gothic is “characterized by mystery, horror, and the supernatural.

[Trope Interest] Twin Bodyguards and Their Hunter Sister in Supernatural Works

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting For some time, I’ve been fascinated by the trope of twin bodyguards who can shapeshift from human to dog forms and their accompanying female “hunter” character. I find it interesting that this trope appears with enough frequency to be noticeable, yet it lacks a specific name, unlike “Single-Mind Twins” or “Tag Team Twins.” There are several examples of this … Continue reading [Trope Interest] Twin Bodyguards and Their Hunter Sister in Supernatural Works
