Eight books of immersive dark gothic fantasy for horror fans

Carolina Ciucci is a teacher, writer and reviewer based in the south of Argentina. She hoards books like they’re going out of style. In case of emergency, you can summon her by talking about Ireland, fictional witches, and the Brontë family. At Book Riot she tagged eight titles of immersive dark gothic fantasy for horror fans. One title on the list:
The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

When grad student Minerva starts looking into Beatrice Tremblay, she doesn’t expect to find the real story behind The Vanishing, Tremblay’s famous novel. And she definitely didn’t expect to discover that the malevolent force that once haunted Tremblay and her roommate might still be present on campus.

The Bewitching is among Daphne Fama's eight folklore-inspired horror novels.
