Gothic Twilight is the first in a unique series of books portraying gothic poetry, by J J Ginty.
A portentous piece; taking one through the darker realms of infirmity & schizophrenia; seduction & possession; dreamscapes & apocalyptic visions; spectral hauntings & the accursed; forsaken love & self-murder; disembodied spirits & forgotten souls; lycanthropes, and of course ... vampires.
This is no ordinary piece, and serves as an excellent introduction for the series of books to follow; as this collection increasingly takes one deeper into the all-encompassing shadows of the dark, isolated, mysteriously disconcerting (yet provocatively beautiful) twilight dominion of the gothic.
