Gothic (goth-IK): a literary style popular during the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th.

This style usually portrayed fantastic tales dealing with horror, despair, the grotesque and other “dark” subjects.

Gothic literature was named for the apparent influence of the dark gothic architecture of the period on the genre. Many Gothic tales took places in such “gothic” surroundings.

Darkness in everyday setting the quaint house where the man goes mad from the "beating" of his guilt in Edgar Allan Poe's “The Tell-Tale Heart.” In essence, these stories were romances, largely due to their love of the imaginary over the logical, and were told from many different points of view.

This literature gave birth to many other forms such as suspense ghost stories horror, mystery Poe's detective stories.

Gothic literature wasn't so different from other genres in form as it was in content and its focus on the "weird" aspects of life. This movement began to slowly open many people's eyes to the possible uses of the supernatural in literature.

Gothic fiction (Gothic horror) combines elements of both horror and romance. believed to have been invented by the English author Horace Walpole, 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto.

Prominent features of Gothic fiction include terror (both psychological and physical), mystery, the supernatural, ghosts, haunted houses and Gothic architecture, castles, darkness, death, decay, doubles, madness, secrets, and hereditary curses.
