Britannia Gothica: Words from the Rain

Steeped in melancholy and folklore, Britannia Gothica: Words from the Rain is a haunting collection that reflects on an older, perhaps lost part of the United Kingdom, its endless coastlines, acres of rich green grass, and the quiet corners where memory lingers.

This collection of gothic tales and poetry seeks to reignite a passion for something antiquarian, timeless, and fable-like. In a modern world where we rarely stop to take note of poignant moments, places, or fleeting beauty, these stories invite readers to reimagine and fall back in love with a softer, more romantic era, while staying true to the gothic horror genre with its darker themes, rich metaphors, and relentless use of language and scale.

Organized into four seasonal sections (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter), the collection explores themes of longing, loss, and transformation. The stories are rooted in tradition, drawing on folk horror, classical gothic literature, and the landscapes of the British Isles.
