No, this isn't about the black-clad figures that you occasionally see walking down the street, although themes from gothic literature have been source of inspiration for much of goth culture. This anthology features selected tales which are not only of the gothic style of writing, but also modern takes on the genre, all featuring bitter darkness and eerie auras. Including witches, ghosts, vampires and haunted houses, if you're into horror you will most definitely find something in this book that you will enjoy.
Notable story: An outstanding piece from this would definitely be Endings, which aptly is the last story in the book. Garth Nix tells the tale of an old vampire, and all his Sorrows and Joys.
