Clara Pallejá López lectures English literature at the University of Alicante. She holds a PhD in Literature by the University of Auckland (New Zealand). She has previously lectured in Murcia, New Zealand and New York. She has carried out research on the evolution of house imagery in fantasy and horror fiction, tracing the appearance of the sentient house as a result of gender-related negotiations of space. Her current interests incorporate the interrelation between widespread global anxieties and their reflection on fiction and film.
