Clare has taught gothic literature at several institutions, including ghost stories that range from nineteenth-century gothic writing by Sheridan Le Fanu, through to Toni Morrison's magic-realist novel Beloved (1987) in which a ghost is the titular character. Clare's favourite ghost story to date is Sarah Waters's spooky novel, The Little Stranger (2009).
