From Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award-nominated author, Philip Fracassi, back by popular demand comes a new edition of his cult-classic, Gothic, in which a washed-up horror novelist is gifted an antique desk that channels an ancient darkness, one that flows onto the page and strangles his life.
Horror author Tyson Parks thinks his best days are behind him. He misses the heydays of the 1980s and 90s, when he was ruling the horror fiction charts, and now finds himself scrambling to remain a relevant author. He hasn't had a hit in years, his agent won't take his calls, and he's never felt older.
Then, on his 59th birthday, his girlfriend gives him the gift of a lifetime: a monstrous antique desk. Rejuvenated by the desk's mysterious energy, he begins writing with an all-consuming passion-and a savage darkness--he hasn't felt in decades, and is eager to get his career back on track. Unfortunately, the desk, and the evil spirit that harbors within, has other plans. It won't stop until it gets what it wants--even if it must destroy Tyson, and everyone he holds dear, in the process.
In this terrifying novel of art, obsession, and the horror of creation, Fracassi shows why he's become a fan favorite among contemporary horror authors. Now in a brand-new edition, which includes a never-before-seen excerpt, Gothic is a dread-fueled dive into what a writer is willing to do to serve the muse, and his own desires.
