Gothic

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” - Edgar Allan Poe

Horror and romance may seem like strange companions, but typically you can find plenty of both in Gothic fiction. Creepy mansions, ancestral curses, life threatening mysteries and inexplicable events all form part of this genre. Our Gothic section contains books with all of these and more, but wait until a dark and stormy night to read them if you want to experience full immersion.

Alex Martin - Love and Loss and the Perils of War
FEATURED AUTHOR - 'The Plotting Shed' (see her blog http://www.intheplottingshed.com/) was Alex Martin's first writing space at the bottom of her Welsh garden. Now she splits her time between Wales and France and plot wherever she is. She still wanders aimlessly in the countryside with her dog and her dreams and she can still be found typing away with imaginary friends whispering in her ear, but these days she has the joy of seeing her stories published and the treasured feedback from readers who've enjoyed them.
