New Gothic Tales From the Past Four Years

"In celebration of October and all things dreadful, we've collected below several dozen books from the recent and massive Gothic resurgence in fiction: the New Gothic, some call it. The collection meanders through various horror-adjacent genres, and you'll find a handful of young adult titles here, too. Scroll over the books below for more information, and take a moment to admire the excellent cover art."
