BiographiesBlurb: The Gothic is the most enduring.literary tradition in history, but in recent years friendly ghosts and vegetarian vampires threaten its foundations. The New Gothic is a collection of short stories which revisits the core archetypes of the Gothic - the rambling, secret-filled building, the stranger seeking answers, the black-hearted tyrant - and reminds us not to embrace, but to fear the darkness.
A dozen tales of terror fill this anthology including an original, never-before-seen story from the godfather of modem horror, Ramsey Campbell.Another library loan, another stub post for time being as i've too many books on the go. Must admit, on reading Patrick McGrath & Bradford Morrow's brain-straining The Picador Book Of The New Gothic (Picador, 1993), I did kind of wonder what was wrong with the Old Gothic, but perhaps this recent collection will provoke a rematch. Anyone had the pleasure?
