Gothic Romance

[close] Attic dwelling invalids, spinster relatives, the catty sniping rivals.... Those pesky ancestors who just won't leave that one-lit-window house? The windy moors; coastal cliffs and lonely topiary mazes. Or perhaps--these plants can kill. Every shadow has a name, every unmarked gravestone has a living nightmare.... Welcome To The Gothic Trim Group. We're a book reading group with specific interests in retro pulpy Gothic novels; either historical or contemporary from the 1960s through the mid-1990s; with sub-genres in Mystery, Horror, Suspense, Romance, DARK Romance, Supernatural, etc.
