Recs if you like The Pit and the Pendulum...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

A list of 100 gothic classics which covers over 250 years of literature, from the high-drama castles of the 1700s to the psychological "New Gothic" of today.

A mix of classics & modern literature, that have to do with the witchy, gothic and horror genres ✨

All ye who enter here, To venture forth is to seek the disturbed, the wretched, the curse. You forsake the comfort for which you came from and enter into the depths of bone chilling literature. Ye hath been warned.

Books featuring enclosed and dark settings. Claustrophobic much?

When Metal meets Literature 🖤🤘🏼

Stories by Edgar Allan Poe

Tuomas Holopainen is a songwriter, composer and co-founder of the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. I think Tuomas is one of the best songwriters of our times. His songwriting is heavily inspired by literature and poetry, and these are a few of the books that inspired his songs and albums. The name of the list is a reference to a lyrics from a song he wrote The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish, one of my all-time favorites.

I wanna make a list for books that I read in school - whether I picked them up from the library myself or they were assigned in English class. for reference, I graduated hs in 2014, so that's the era we're working with :)

if you have any suggestions for books that were popular in the late 00's/early 2010's or books you were assigned in school, please comment!
