About the Author

Genie Bryan is a professor of English at Georgia Southwestern State University. She teaches everything from Composition to the Gothic. She has been carrying on with Nathaniel Hawthorne since graduate school (it’s ok; her husband knows). Her research focuses on preparing for classes for the most part these days, but, when granted time by the cycles of the moon, she prefers to dwell in the spaces of the Gothic. She works for two cats: Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia. They like it when people are at their table playing Dungeons & Dragons.
