Brooding, evocative tales, rich with atmosphere and with an unflinching taste for the macabre, Gothic fiction has been enthralling readers for nearly 300 years. But the loose term actually encompasses a wealth of genres, gathered together under its dark and stormy skies. From spooky tales of the supernatural, to contemporary noir crime fiction, the Gothic novel can be many things. But they all share one thing in common: a love for the dark side. We’re joined by five modern-day masters of Gothic fiction to discuss its irresistible appeal.
Hosted by Frankie Pellatt of the Read and Buried podcast, join authors Anna Mazzola, Essie Fox, William Hussey, Louise Davidson and Michelle Paver to discuss why we can’t get enough of Gothic fiction.
