The Gothic is the most enduring literary tradition in history but in recent years friendly ghosts and vegetarian vampires threaten its foundations.<\/p>\n

The New Gothic is a collection of short stories which revisits to 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.<\/p>\n

A dozen tales of terror fill this anthology including an original, never-before-seen story from the godfather of modern horror, Ramsey Campbell.<\/p>\n

Instilling fear in the hearts of all are:<\/p>\n

“Editor Beth K. Lewis and the team at Stone Skin Press<\/a> have selected a terrific set of stories. They hang together, despite disparate elements; each tale hints at the darkness lurking in urban neighborhoods, in old houses, on desolate roads, and in our hearts. Cue Vincent Price’s menacing laugh echoing down a black corridor. There are no castles here, but there’s no sympathy for the devil either<\/em>.”

“I can heartily recommend <\/em>The New Gothic<\/strong>. It’s a great read that hooks you – in a horrible blood-spattering way – and the talent on show here is excellent.”<\/em><\/p>\n

–Farsight Blogger<\/a><\/p>\n

“…the sweetest kind of literary torture. If you want to enjoy a rickety roller coaster of Gothic goodness, this book is worth standing in line for. This is the way Goth should be done, by people who know how to do it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

–Pop Cults<\/a><\/p>\n

“…there are some finely crafted stories here. \u00a0This is definitely a good sampler of the sub-genre. If you\u2019ve wondered what gothic horror was, this collection would be a good starting place to answer that question.”<\/em><\/p>\n
