The Gothic genre is a mixture of a few things which can include: * A castle, ruined or intact, haunted or not, * Ruined buildings which are sinister or which arouse a pleasing melancholy, * Dungeons, underground passages, crypts, and catacombs which, in modern houses, become spooky basements or attics, * Labyrinths, dark corridors, and winding stairs, * Shadows, a beam of moonlight in the blackness, a flickering candle, or the only source of light failing (a candle blown out or an electric failure), * Extreme landscapes, like rugged mountains, thick forests, or icy wastes, and extreme weather, * Omens and ancestral curses, * Magic, supernatural manifestations, or the suggestion of the supernatural, * A passion-driven, wilful villain-hero or villain, * A curious heroine with a tendency to faint and a need to be rescued-frequently, * A hero whose true identity is revealed by the end of the novel, * Horrifying (or terrifying) events or the threat of such happenings. Most of them contain supernatural beings and threat. The Gothic creates feelings of gloom, mystery, and suspense and tends to the dramatic and the sensational, like incest, diabolism, and nameless terrors. Most of us immediately recognize the Gothic (even if we don't know the name) when we encounter it in novels, poetry, plays, movies, and TV series. For some of us the prospect of safely experiencing dread or Horror is thrilling and enjoyable.
