  As someone who is currently writing a gothic romance novel, I'm super excited to see videos like this. It's hard to find many videos breaking down the gothic genre so thoroughly.

  The hotel in The Shining is a great example of "The Castle"

  Just had to say, your story example at the end was phenomenal, both in how it was written and how it was read.  You may not have known where the story was going when you wrote it, but I could easily see where an entire novel would grow out of that.

  In German, Gothic is calles Black Romanticism and it is truly wild and weird, it really dives into insanity and genetic theories and upbringing. of course, Gothic literature does dive into insanity too, but I haven't come across stories that go into causes of it

  I always felt that the place could be anywhere that is rundown or just ancient, like an olde cemetery or asylum.

  And that is why we love gothic literature so much.... It&apos;s not disgusting, but wonderfully disturbing at times... Even adults can scare themselves silly and enjoy it.<br><br>Love the thorough walk thru.
