I've done a fair amount of research into the gothic novel and I get where Anne Radcliffe is coming from, but I think there's no reason for the ghastly poetry.

I must admit, I don't care much for poetry, unless its Byron.

Harold Schechter's The Serial Killer Files for the 5th time, the perfect guide to serial killers well-known (Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy) and not so well-known, but very prolific and fascinating (Luis Alfredo Garavito, Javed Iqbal); can't recommend this book enough.
Love Joe Coleman's portraits too.

That's a good book. You should read Colin Wilson's stuff. By the way, if you're really into serial killers and true crime, you might like my Murderland books. I know it's an easy, cheap plug, but a lot of people have enjoyed them and you might too.

Having read the synopsis for the first of your Murderland Books, it sounds as if there are elements of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World-A book that I loved and which has haunted me. Am I in the right Ball Park?

Murderland seems more Clockwork Orangish than Brave New Worldish to me....
