5. Media Center Spooky October Focus on Gothic Authors and Their Books
Gothic literature is a genre of fiction that emerged in the late 18th century and became popular in the 19th century. It is characterized by a focus on dark, mysterious, and supernatural elements, as well as a strong emphasis on emotion and atmosphere. Notable authors associated with Gothic literature include Mary Shelley, “Frankenstein”, Edgar Allan Poe, “the Raven/Tale Tell Heart” and Bram Stoker, “Dracula”, among others. See a few of our CV Media Center Gothic author/book displays here: gothic Halloween media newsletter.jpg
Gothic literature has had a lasting impact on the horror and suspense genres and continues to influence contemporary literature, film, and popular culture. Its themes of darkness, mystery, and the exploration of human nature continue to resonate with audiences today. Swing by the Media Center to learn more about these authors and check out ”Dark” Displays inspired by elements in each of the Macabre Stories both classic gothic horror and modern scary literature.
