Description

INFERNAL MYSTERIES, or A Compendium of Gothic Reveries & Dolorous Tales is Egaeus Press's latest anthology. Featuring a gloriously grotesque and moon-soaked selection of new writings whose intent it is to capture and expand upon the darkness and sheer strangeness of first-wave Gothic literature.

Never mind the cosy conventions into which the Gothic has settled over the past couple of centuries; INFERNAL MYSTERIES presents an altogether rawer and more primal take on the genre, very much rooted in the works of Poe, Shelley, Walpole, and "Monk" Lewis.
