Horror / Gothic Fiction-Themed Extracts

A set of texts gathered around the theme of Horror / Gothic Fiction aimed at guiding pupils in Years 7-9 through the range of text-types they will need to be familiar with to be successful when studying the new GCSE curriculum. Including extracts from Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Henry James and classic poems like Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, but also more modern, accessible texts such as Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, Darren Shan's Demon Thief and Roald Dahl's The Witches, this collection aims to provide a wide range of texts through which to study the range of skills vital in the new curriculum, such as pre-19th Century Literature, poetry, comparison of theme and time period, language and structural features. Could also easily be used with a GCSE group in preparation for their literature examination.

Contains:
A booklet with a range of extracts taken from 13 different texts centred around the theme of horror, including modern fiction, pre-19th Century fiction and poetry.
