Rob_Macabre The Nature of the Beast: An Examination of Evil
No new posts

Beauty and the Beast

The actual author of this work is unknown; it's an age-old fairy tale that is near impossible to trace to it's original source. But within it are Gothic themes that are just as timeless. Here is a perfect example of the combination of contrasting elements that make up Gothic literature. It is a near-perfect blend of romance and horror, two of the main characteristics of Gothic fiction.

The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole

The first Gothic novel, at least the first one to refer to itself as one. Written in 1764, it has within it several examples of Gothic literature, including many standards still upheld to this day. The title itself is suggestive of a stereotypical gloomy atmosphere, and there are many instances within the text. Definitely required reading.
