[Graveyard Goddess]

Do you guys have any goth lit favourites? Id like to start a goth/lit disscussion thread...so poof im doing it.

Disscuss your favourite books, authors, genres, gothic writers ect

so what are your favs?
Lets see..mine must be...

Gothic lit:
Dantes Inferno, Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Bram Stokers Dracula and Lord Byrons of and Ann Radecliffe

Horror Lit: Stephen King's Carrie,
I also like Poppy Z Brite...and I know Anne Rice is good but ive never read her stuff.

General lit:
Francessca Lia Block, Cate Tiernan, Chris Cummings (Preacher)

Poets:
Sylvia Plath, Poe, John Milton's paradise lost and dantes inferno

and yours?

I just love the beautiful creepy gothic imagry in all of the gothic lit...the stormy nights or misty dusks and the smell of death dispearsing into the omnious and barren lands of roaming poltergeists...lol good discription?

I loe Stephem King ;D He's and amazing wirter. I also like Edgar Allan Poe, J.K.Rowling (although the 5th book was a little dissapointing),J.R.R.Tolkien, and I enjoyed Poison by Chris Wooding.

I also like Dr Seuss, i met the cat in the hat oooh and 'Hairy Mclairy from Donaldsons dairy' and 'Mog and Meg'.

[Graveyard Goddess]

you met the cat in the hat?
is it "cat in the hat" or "cat and the hat"?

I liked those harry potter books they were nice. my cousin went out to dinner with jk rowling....the same cousin who slept over at lindsay lohans house....shes crazy lucky (well i guess)

[foblin]

She is lucky!!

It's the cat in the hat

[Graveyard Goddess]

but...but...
that doesnt make sense!

the only way it would make sense would be if it was
" the cat whose head's in the hat"

[foblin]

But it's the Cat in the Hat with Thing 1 and Thing 2 ;D

I'm a late comer to the writing of Anne Rice but have seriously got into her now

The books I've read so far are, Interview with the vampire, Violin, Lestat, Merrick and Pandora. Loved all of them.

Am about to start Queen Of The Damned
