Welcome! Please say hi and I will too!

[Carole]

Just started this and with your help, it should really fly.
I write dark gothic romantic fiction and I am curious as to how popular it is.

Would love your input, ideas and whatever you think to discuss.

thanks!

Great idea Carole! I don't write dark gothic romance but I do write erotic horror which often blends together. I look forward to reading about more authors!

[Georgina]

Hi Carole! I love the idea of reading more gothic stories, as you know, it is a style I deeply enjoy. Thanks for inviting me!

[Carole]

sure thing, Pavarti. yes that sounds great! fabulous!
I just thought we needed to have a group like this. Gothic can embrace erotica, i'm sure. welcome

[Carole]

Georgina! fabulous!
welcome! my pleasure!

Hi Carole (see? FaceBook has its uses!). Love gothic stories (I was weaned on Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast. I've just had a dark thriller/horror novel published, so I'm pretty eclectic.

[Carole]

Fabulous. What i'm endeavoring to do is to recreate the gothic romantic genre--but with boundaries pushed.
i write dark horror (short) fiction but for some reason, longer stuff comes out with a real gothic narrative!
can't figure it out.
Also, I love Anne Rice, but I want her vampire novels with some romance in them. Like a combo of Anne Rice and Daphne DuMaurier

Hey Carole,

I was just on your blog and saw your Goodreads group and I thought I just have to join this one. As you know already I adore horror, gothic or anything scary in it with a twist of romance added in.

[Natalie]

Hey Carole - just saw this message. Can't believe it took me so long! Hello there, my friend! xx

If we are referring to Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, count me in

what's your book? I am a gothic literature junkie. I can tell you

From the synopsis it sounds like it. Death is a huge part of gothic literature in some form or another (literal death, undead, etc.) I would say it does

That is always a good thing :)

Hello!

I love all the Horror, as well as Vampire Horrors so I joined here to wait and participate whenever I will have a free time beside reading to post something and I wish this group to really become finally active as it should be because it's a great group and I am sure of it! My name is Marek and only shortly I read Horror Novels of all kind because previously I was reading non-fiction books only. Finally I noticed what I've lost. I know before few great authors though. E. A. Poe. Lovecraft, Stoker, Rice. My official name is Marek.

Best wishes!

Greetings all! Just about everything I write is gothic/horror/gothic horror with romance elements/Gothic with a side order of fries . . . Er, you get the general idea. Most are set in Victorian England, and wherever possible I like to toss real historical figures into the mix: ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Sigmund Freud (really).
