Fear Feature For January 2012: Evil

 Innocence Turns Evil


The distant snow on ancient path
my darling, daughter, dear
she climbed the distant hill
hair of Gold and skin of White
Blue eyes filled with broken tears
still an evil woman creep
upon the village laid in snow
a shadow fall across the yard
the sun is Black, the wind is cold
now she lay there in the snow
red with innocence, devil's bride

Gothic Horror.

 Gothic horror  literature combines elements of both horror and romance.

It  creates feelings of  excitement, thrill and  fear for   its readers to endure.

Atmosphere is extremely important in Gothic literature with  the ruins of Gothic buildings  representing the inevitable decay and collapse of human creations.

The themes of Gothic  fiction include terror (both psychological and physical), madness, mystery, darkness, decay and death.

Enjoy.

A Dark Romance

The Dark Romantics see life as colourful, base and grotesque. Dark Romantic poetry explores the torment of mankind: its heros are often cast out of society and battling their own inner demons.

In Dark Romantic poetry the natural world is alive and deeply spiritual and  filled with dark mystery.
