Oh, I can’t believe you didn’t mention the classic gothic novel, Jane Eyre! Edward Rochester is brooding, cynical, secretive, arrogant, and he toys with Jane and everyone around him.

I love gothic stories and also more contemporary gothic mysteries. Give me a story with a big spooky house in the country and a dark secret and I’m happy.

I love Eve’s books, especially “Dark Desires” and “His Wicked Sins.”

What a thrill to be included in such a terrific group of gothic writers. For those who love a true gothic, Red Rose Publishing is beginning a series called Shadowed Hearts Series, short gothic themed short works. Mine will be included. It’s called The Haunting of Hastings Hall.
Watch my web page for a release date.
And thanks for the mention. I LOVE Gothics.

Oh, I love gothics! I can’t stay away from the gothic rack at the UBS, and I’m glad to see Victoria Holt and Mary Stewart being reissued. Whenever a review describes a book as having gothic elements, I know I have to give it a try.

I have an ebay addiction I try to keep firmly in check. It’s not always easy tho.

I’m not sure I see Mr. Darcy as a Byronic hero but I can see how the argument could (possibly) be made.

Ah, Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. I used to devour them! Haven’t read them in ages, though. Maybe this winter I’ll reread them.
