For the first time in Russian - a recognized masterpiece of modern neo-Gothic, a story about how thin the line is between real and imaginary horrors. It would seem that what new can be said in the Gothic genre after Anne Radcliffe and Jane Austen, after Daphne Du Maurier? And then Diana Setterfield appears with her “The Thirteenth Tale” and sets a new standard of quality. It would seem that what new can be written about vampires after Bram Stoker and Anne Rice? And then Stephenie Meyer comes along with her Twilight, and the world goes crazy. But the stage for Diana Setterfield and Stephenie Meyer was prepared by Rachel Klein with her Diary of a Moth. At an elite boarding school, a sixteen-year-old girl confides her innermost thoughts to her diary. The focus of her growing obsession is Lucy Blake, her neighbor and best friend, and their new classmate Ernessa. Ernessa is pale-skinned and has a hypnotic gaze. Ernessa, like a magnet, attracts the wildest rumors, suspicions, disasters and fears. In 2011, Mary Harron, director of such cult hits as “I Shot Andy Warhol” and “American Psycho,” filmed “The Diary of a Moth.” The main role was played by British supermodel Lily Cole, who made her big screen debut in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
