Description

Trad Gothic. You know it when you see it: graveyards, decrepit mansions, ghosts, curses, doomed love, family secrets, ineffable wickedness, and occasionally mad science.
Horror is the most famously Gothic genre—and our number one aesthetic touchstone is horror cinema in the Corman–Hammer vein—but we’re also open to family dramas, murder mysteries, and moody romance.1
Period or quasi-period settings (17th century through 1930s) are preferred, but accurate detail is not a priority. We are not a market for “historical fiction” per se.
