Most Read This Week In Gothic Romance

[close] 🥀"[Reading] what we love." A bookclub for Reylos, by Reylos. Need to heal a broken heart? Sad of having your feminine gaze stories ruined? Look no further! This bookclub is a safe space for enemies-to-lovers, Beauty and the Beast, and Hades and Persephone fans. The mission of this group is to celebrate the healing power of love, which is often ignored in our modern-day blockbuster storytelling. (Things to note: while this group is a celebration of romance, there will be no erotica or explicit books featured as the monthly pick). This book club has a discussion bi-monthly on Sunday @ 7pm MST. At the end of the every other month there will be a poll on Twitter @RoseBloom_Club where you can vote for which book we read the following two months. The Sunday right before, or right after, the end of the final month is when a discussion will be held via Discord/Youtube. For constant updates, follow me on Twitter @RoseBloom_Club https://twitter.com/RoseBloom_Club Join the Discord Server! https://discord.com/invite/BEh4fmX

[close] Midnight Gothic Sancturary Gothic fiction is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. As a genre, it is generally believed to have been invented by the English author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto. The effect of Gothic fiction depends on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of essentially Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole's novel. Prominent features of Gothic fiction include terror (both psychological and physical), mystery, vampires, the supernatural, ghosts, haunted houses and Gothic architecture, castles, darkness, death, decay, doubles, madness, secrets and hereditary curses.

[close] Discussing the darker aspects of 18th - 21st century literature. If you cannot find a topic you are interested in feel free to create a new thread for discussion. Despite the name we are very inclusive of a wide range of fiction; anything which comes under supernatural, mysterious, or dark in atmosphere is welcome as a book of the month. Rules: I’m sure it doesn’t need to be expressed but we have a zero tolerance for trolling or direct personal attacks in the group. That being said don’t be scared to discuss and dispute ideas. Lack of participation and/or prolonged inactivity on GR will likely result in your membership to the group being discontinued. If you’re still interested in the group don’t worry, you are free to rejoin again.
