Question

Hello guys. I need a gothic short story that includes gothic themes and vocabulary. Ill give 40 points.

Answer 1

The action takes place in and around an old castle, sometimes  

seemingly abandoned, sometimes occupied. The castle often contains secret passages,  

trap doors, secret rooms, dark or hidden staircases, and possibly ruined sections. The  

castle may be near or connected to caves, which lend their own haunting flavor with  

their branches, claustrophobia, and mystery. (Translated into modern filmmaking, the  

setting might be in an old house or mansion--or even a new house—where unusual  

camera angles, sustained close ups during movement, and darkness or shadows create  

the same sense of claustrophobia and entrapment.)
