You start all stories the same way -- in the middle of the action. Here's a good link.
There aren't any. Here's a couple of links to writing Gothic and Horror stories, though.
A good Gothic horror story often begins with a strong sense of atmosphere, dark, mysterious, and unsettling. You can start with a description of an eerie setting, like an abandoned mansion, a stormy night, or a forgotten graveyard. The key is to create tension right from the first paragraph. You might include sensory details like creaking floorboards, flickering candlelight, or a distant scream to pull the reader in. At Hillshire Media, we guide writers in building immersive Gothic narratives that hook readers from the very first line, combining suspense, setting, and character psychology effectively.

Joyce Carol Oates said it best: "The first sentence can't be written until the final sentence is written."Worry about finishing your story, not about writing the perfect opening sentence! You can change anything you like once you've finished -- go back and think of a great first sentence then, instead of waiting for some magical "first sentence" to fall out of the sky and hit you in the head.Now get off the internet and get back to writing that story!
Practice. Start by writing in the style of other writers - read their books and try to write the story in your own words. Then you can start writing your own stories.
