Review
Gothic medical horror is a pretty specific and possibly niche idea on which to base a collection of stories on. Gothic stories on their own are a delicate balance of atmosphere and haunting through lines that merge seamlessly into one another. Adding the idea of medical horror further limits the types and styles of stories and plots within.Or so one would think.This a collection of ten stories, from ten different authors. Each are unique and layered. The sense of gothic dread and time period aesthetic are well at the forefront, giving readers what they hunger for and more. The medical side of the stories bring an added twist, sometimes not as apparent as one would think when beginning the tale. Each author brings their specific talents, blending their established style with the macabre elegance one looks to find within Gothic fiction, while making full use of the medical haunts.There really isn't much more I can say without spoilers or trying to pick favorites. Which honestly isn't right because I was enthralled by each one.
