This new trend is particularly evident in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the central heroine having greater physical prowess than anyone else, male or female in the world. This feminist revisionism of horror in the nineties, saluted the Gothic fiction era where horror was considered a woman?s field. 'The Bad Boy Appeal' studies the representation of female sexuality in the young adult horror fiction of L.J.
