Gothic art inspires writers, and gothic writers inspire artists. . .
it’s a mutual admiration society.
The gothic transcends any one genre,
and any one time.It’s a cultural strand that we can
trace throughout the history of the west,
from medieval castlesto 18th century novels,to 20th century films
to the latest episode of True Blood or a Neil Gaimon graphic novel.
