- Summary:
- "Late 1960s and early 1970s saw the birth of modern feminism, the sexual revolution, and strong growth in the mass-market publishing industry.

Gothics paved the way for contemporary fiction categories such as urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and vampire erotica"-- Provided by publisher.
