Brontës on commuter rails, online poems and Hogwarts

The Scotsman reviews The Silence of the Girls by Pat Baker:

Likewise one can read the shift in Briseis’ feeling for Achilles, from hatred and revulsion to acceptance, even sympathy and understanding, respect and something not far short of love, as the common theme of a certain sort of romantic fiction from Charlotte Brontë to Georgette Heyer and even Jilly Cooper. (Allan Massie)

The Boar and the literary tastes of London commuters:

How can you concentrate with all those people surrounding you and the excruciating noise of the train going along the tracks? Especially on Wuthering Heights! One person was reading it on a packed Northern Line train at 8 o’clock in the morning – how can you concentrate on all the different Cathys and Edgars? (...)
If you want a flavour of the British public’s reading tastes go to your nearest train station. With everything from Brontë to the business pages, it’s a fascinating insight into reading trends (Georgia Simcox)

The Hollywood Reporter reviews the film The Little Stranger:

You can see a sketchy affinity: Both movies [Room and The Little Stranger] are concerned with haunted spaces, the backyard shed imprisoning a mother and son in Room expanded here into a full-on gothic manor out of Jane Eyre or Rebecca. (Keith Uhlich)

The crisis of teenager's mental health is discussed on The Guardian:

That the years of becoming adult have always been an anxious and difficult stage in human development we know from Hamlet or Wuthering Heights. But this moment in history offers challenges that may be unparalleled. (Editorial)

Leitrim Observer reviews the book Cailleach~Witch by Jane Gilheaney-Barry:

Cailleach~Witch is a modern gothic, mystery novel, with a strong sense of atmosphere and place. It will appeal to fans of the Brontës, Daphne du Maurier, Alice Hoffman, and Kate Morton. It tells the story of the mysterious Cleary women. A family of Bean Feasa, wise women, witches, who live on the local mountain.

Bookriot recommends books by Catherynne M. Valente:

Hen, If you like portal fantasy, read The Glass Town Game.
Also for lovers of the Brontës, this novel imagines the Brontë siblings as children, transported to the magical land of their own invention. Also middle grade, this novel tops out at 500 pages, so allow yourself some reading time. (Annika Barranti Klein)
