Welcome to the Gothic realm. Alex Woodroe has passionately and carefully curated a powerful volume of gothic stories, written by an amazing and diverse group of contemporary writers. Within the pages of A Quaint and Curious Collection of Gothic Tales, the reader will encounter stories of pain and suffering, ghosts, curses, unspoken secrets, greed, murder, and one of the creepiest collections of dolls ever seen. Come on in; enter the parlor, find a place by the fire, and experience the beautiful, dark, and occasionally heartbreaking stories told by the authors as they continue the Gothic tradition pioneered by the likes of Shelley, Radcliffe, Brontë and others.
