*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: A lot of classic horror may well be termed ‘gothic’, such as Frankenstein and Dracula, for example, set in then contemporary times. But there’s always been a trend to evoke those now historic periods to tell supernatural tales with horror and romance overtones, a sub-genre that seemed to explode in the 1960s and 70s. You know the type of things, heroine often in diaphanous night attire, in the foreground runs towards the camera with a terrified expression while the backdrop is a night time looming gothic castle, mansion or some such. Gothic novels reek of mysterious figures, brooding landscapes, lurking menace, ancient mysteries and star-crossed lovers. We’re delighted to add some more of these to our listings this week. More information, including condition notes, may be found in our catalogue.
