About the author

Megan McLennan (Western University)

Megan McLennan is a fourth-year PhD candidate at Western University. Her doctoral thesis entitled, ‘The Members May Vary, But the Family Never Goes Away’: Victorian Women’s Writing, Haunted Houses, and Sites of Care’, argues that the haunted house in nineteenth-century women’s supernatural fiction facilitates care communities for the female protagonists, their homes, and their living and non-living relations. Her other research interests include gender studies, queer theory, and the Victorian fantastic.
