This is one of the best horror books I’ve read so far this year. The suspense is palpable as we follow Tyson, waiting to see exactly how far he will fall before the end. Fracassi doesn’t need to rely on plot twists or other gimmicks to provide the reader with an overwhelming sense of dread. Going in, I knew what was going to happen, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment. I enjoyed the feeling of inevitability with this book. But Tyson can’t remember what he’s written, his behavior becomes increasingly erratic, and worst of all, he seems to be seeing things. Suddenly, miraculously, it seems that Tyson’s muse has returned, and writer’s block is a thing of the past. Tyson’s descent into darkness begins when his longtime girlfriend gifts him an antique writing desk for his birthday. This book reads like The Shining meets In the Mouth of Madness. I believe that would have helped a lot.Īll in all, this book may not have been great, but it was fun.Gothic is a novel that will appeal to writers, as many will understand Tyson’s struggle with the creative muse, and the pressure to live up to his past successes. I struggled to like any of the characters also. It dragged out much longer than it should have.

Perhaps inspire him to write another best-selling book and prove his best years aren’t. On his 59th birthday, Tyson Parksa famous, but struggling, horror writerreceives an ornate antiquarian desk in the hopes it will rekindle his creative juices. I do not love how long this book was though. Listen to Stream Philip Fracassi here on TuneIn Listen anytime, anywhere. I loved that this book wasn’t afraid to go for the throat. The author gives an adequate description of what is going on and leaves the rest to the imagination of the reader. I loved that the book read like an ‘80’s slasher,complete with some veiled references to the same. Who doesn’t love a haunted object whether it’s a hat, a desk, or maybe a hotel? I loved the bones. His books begin to sell again but, at what cost? He needs a new best seller and fast! His girlfriend gives him an antique writing desk for his birthday and, as he begins to use it, his behavior changes for the worse. He’s struggling to meet his deadlines and quite stressed out. Tyson Parks is a famous has-been of a horror writer. “Gothic” is the story of a haunted desk that infects its owner with rage and evil.
