Gothic Victorian horror stories. Must be set in England during the Victorian era. Think of the stories told in Penny Dreadfuls of the time such as Sweeney Todd and Spring Heeled Jack. Ghost stories such as the Women in Black are welcome. Characters from that period may be mentioned/used as long if they are in the public domain: ie. Frankenstein, Tom Sawyer, Professor Moriarty, Countess Bathory, the Pinkertons, etc. A quick google search will tell you if its ok to use, but generally speaking, you can base your story off the ORIGINAL tale, but not from any other/newer retellings that may not be public domain.
