Para Sage, en la novela gótica ambientada en un cosmos católico y medieval, «the point is not mindlessly to recall the past: quite the opposite, the presence of the hidden, allegorical structure taps a contemporary ability in the audience to read the signs of its presence. That ability derives from a deeply sown, deeply contested set of theological expectations in nineteenth-century culture, which exists for both reader and writer alike. The allegory may have internal psychological dimensions, or it may have a more externalised social dimension. It is often to be found in an intersection between the past and the present, in which apparently harmless traditional threats to Protestant beliefs are reactivated as a form of contemporary political menace» (Victor Sage, Horror fiction in the protestant tradition, Nueva York, St. Martins, 1988, p. 18).
