"This significant addition to the scholarship on postfeminism provocatively and powerfully reads a too-often-overlooked category of print fiction.
Splattered Ink vividly addresses the 'dark side' of postfeminism, generating a sturdy, supple analytic frame for female-authored, often avidly female-consumed books about women's victimization and vulnerability that belie postfeminism's customary preference for stock themes of empowerment and resilience and affective investment in the sanguine and upbeat."--Diane Negra, author of

Feminism Unfinished: A Short, Surprising History of American Women's Movements"Whitney engagingly extends the contemporary female Gothic canon into the 21st Century."--Helene Meyers, author of
