SIDELIGHTS: Gary W. Crawford once told CA: "Most of my life has been devoted to Gothic literature. As a boy I was led to horror authors through the horror film. I read Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at age eleven. When in college, I discovered the works of J. Sheridan Le Fanu. I began to write my own fiction and poetry in the horror vein when I was twenty-one. As a graduate student, I began a bibliography of Le Fanu and wrote my thesis on his work In a Glass Darkly.
"While I have written some fiction, most of my work has been poetry. I am basically a confessional horror poet, because I have drawn from my own experience of paranoid schizophrenia, the emergence of which precluded my working toward a doctoral degree. I have since founded and edited Gothic Press. David Punter has called Gothic fiction 'paranoic fiction,' and most of my poetry reflects this."
More recently Crawford commented: "I have always been fascinated with the reasons people have believed in the supernatural over the ages. While I have my own ideas about God and the supernatural, I maintain a distance from organized religion. My poetry, like the works of Le Fanu, questions the supernatural."
