A Journey into the Dark Heart of American Gothic

Where history meets horror, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Step into the eerie landscapes of Gothic America 2, a chilling exploration of the supernatural, the psychological, and the deeply unsettling.

What’s Inside?

Unsettling Narratives – Stories that blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Haunted Histories – Ghosts of the past that refuse to be forgotten.
Psychological Depth – A gothic experience that lingers long after the last page.

Gothic America is a collection of a “Lucky 7” short vintage horror stories that were originally published prior to the 1900’s. This vintage throw back is set to be a horrific gathering for your very own Halloween gathering. These stories are quick, witty, and easily shareable with children in the room. Perhaps not in the 1800’s, but today’s children are ready for these horrors as they are more subtle in nature. They are not gore-heavy, or littered with loud and grotesque imagery. With the same friendly spirit that Washington Irving wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, this collection is also intended to be shared in a group setting of all ages. These stories are meant to be read aloud and in the dark.

The Adventure of the German Student by Washington Irving
An Occurrence at owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce
The Foreigner by Sarah Orne Jewett
