About This Quote
"Gothic" is a term that has been used to describe a certain type of horror story. It was first coined by horror author Ann Radcliffe, which is a story with a dark and gloomy setting. Gothic stories have a gloomy tone and often involve a sacrificial theme or some sort of ominous warning. When people use the word "gothic" to describe literature they are typically referring to works that are very dark and gloomy, as opposed to fantasy or science fiction stories.
In modern times, the gothic genre is still alive as writers continue to explore the dark side of life. People who use the word "gothic" as an adjective mean that they would like to read a gothic story, but they would also like it to be upbeat and bright. More specifically, they would like a cheerful villain in a brightly lit room with kittens.
