    UDK 821.111.09-312.4 Walters M.:821.111.09-312.9 Lewis M. G. GOTHIC ELEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY DETECTIVE STORY: MATTHEW GREGORY LEWIS AND MINETTE WALTERS COMPARED Vesna Marinko Abstract One of the most shocking Gothic novels was written by Matthew Gregory Lewis in 1796. His Gothic novel The Monk contains all the typical Gothic elements such as a ruined castle, aggressive villain, women in distress, the atmosphere of terror and horror and a lot more. This article analyses and compares to what extent the Gothic elements of the late J8lh century survived in the contemporary detec­ tiJ'e _!itQry The keHouse {1993) written by Minette Walters and how these elements have changed. Today the detective story is very popular with readers searching for mystery, sus­ pense and thrill because "it often begins with an unsolved crime of some sort" (Rzepka 2005: 9). The readers are challenged by the fact that nobody knows whodunit and they are sure they will beat the detective of the story and find the 'doer' before the detective does. But many fans are unaware of the fact that the origins of the detective story come from the late 18th century Gothic world of horror and terror. The Gothic period started before the first Gothic novel appeared in 1764 when Horace Walpole wrote The Castle of Otranto and coincided with the period of Ro­ manticism which started in the late 18th century (Frank 1987: xix). The Monk was not one of the first Gothic novels but definitely one of the most shocking ones because it was "inverted, parodied, or exaggerated the features it cannibalized" (Miles 2002: 53).

He is most famous for his satirical romances which epitomised the brittle gaiety and underlying cynicism and disillusionment of the fashionable London society of the time, but he also wrote gothic horror and psychological thrillers. His best-known work, The Green Hat, was published in 1924 and was subsequently adapted for both stage and screen (as A Woman of Affairs, starring Greta Garbo). The book brought him almost overnight fame on both sides of the Atlantic.

Sarah belongs to a local writers’ group and was shortlisted for Best Opening Page at the Festival of Writing in 2014. She lives in Tunbridge Wells, is married and has a son. ALL THE LOST ONES is her first novel. She is currently working on her second book in the series, SWEET REMAINS, featuring DS Richard Vega. ALL THE LOST ONES MURDER IN THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND. Royal Tunbridge Wells: affluent, aspirational, and the scene of a second gruesome killing. A teenaged boy, murdered in near identical circumstances to that of another. A sick sense of déjà vu which leaves former Padre DS RICHARD VEGA deeply unsettled. Was something missed in the first instance, or is this a deliberate design to mask something darker still? The original killer, a child himself at the time, has been controversially released but is soon discounted. As a complex investigation turns focus on the victim’s family, established walls of secrecy are quickly reinforced and the team are met with a resounding silence.
