Line 29:
The Gothic in the literary sense is a broad term, it is hard to say off hand where it will go into the twenty-first century but there are many who are willing to adapt the old Gothic influences and make them new once again. Gothic fiction before Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood, and Lovecraft wasn't very frightening and there were authors who have the Gothic sensibilities during Edgar Allan Poe's time such as Charles Dickens with his ghost stories. Some authors in the Gothic genre like to use erotic themes while other writers don't have the erotic undercurrent at all, hence they would follow by example in terms of [[Rod Serling]]. Show example here, [[Night Gallery]], then later the novel by [[Macey Baggett Wuesthoff]] titled '''Sacrifice'''. Other examples of the Literary Gothic will be [[Washington Irving]] with the story [[The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow]].
The themes from Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft helped shape the sub culture of Thrash and Speed Metal with the concepts in lyrical content. The aspects of the genre are alive and well just taken into several different directions by various modern horror authors, seeing it evolve from what it was to what it is now. Even the modern authors will echo the imaginations of the authors past. Gothic fiction in the late 20th, early twenty-first is a hard one to define who is the most important writer of this genre is but we can all agree the old Gothic fiction had created much of the impact on an entire subculture from it. As mentioned with author, [[Bram Stoker]], with the creation of his novel had shaped what would inspire the vampire movement.
