Overview

Gothic Tales Vampires do not always bite. Sometimes they remember. Sometimes they inherit. Sometimes they wait. This anthology brings together public-domain gothic classics and original contemporary stories that reimagine vampirism as metaphor: desire, memory, trauma, lineage, and forgetting. There is no romance here. No easy redemption. There are old ballads, sleepless cities, bodies carrying other people's histories, and pacts that cannot be broken without losing something essential. Each story is anchored in a real place -Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America- and engages with literary traditions ranging from Goethe, Polidori, and Le Fanu to Afro-American mythologies and reimagined local legends shaped by a contemporary sensibility. A book for readers of literary horror, classic gothic fiction, and dark tales that understand the vampire not as a monster, but as a structure. Includes original maps.
