A House in The Country is perhaps Donoso’s most disturbing and gruesome novel, the imagery of the acts is brilliantly written in detail that will surely make you tremble. Jose Donoso sets the readers eyes on the Ventura family, while the adults spend their day together in mindless conversation and past-times they decide to gather their servants and leave the children in the disturbing country house to come out and play… that means all the children. Beware for the author will also take place and he will not keep anything hidden from his tale, if the reader is ready for a grisly Chilean novel then with all pleasure come into the country house.

The October Country

 Bradbury is known for many of his novels but his short stories is where he started, this right here is the best collection of eerie stories to read in the fall and best in October. The circus is in town so grab a seat while it’s hot and preferably read “The Dwarf” first.

and a personal favorite, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of the very best Gothic classics.

Victor Hugo is the master of imagery in this novel, architecture was at the tip of his fingers, this novel, my readers is the very definition of Gothic.
