Gothicshortstory Stories

Gothic short stories. Each has a different theme. Author - Nola Bulić.

In the icy grip of a 19th-century New England winter, Ivy, a widow and sole caretaker of her late husband's vineyard, begins receiving anonymous letters. Each note is filled with intoxicating devotion, uncanny knowledge of her private thoughts, and a symbol: a deep cup with twin looping handles. Though the letters unnerve her at first, Ivy quickly becomes consumed by them, her loneliness giving way to obsession. As whispers of desire and promises of eternal union echo louder in her mind, Ivy spirals into a fevered unraveling. She wanders through graveyards and dreams, through snow and darkness, haunted by the voice of the unseen sender-one who seems to know the sacred language of wine, ecstasy, and sacrifice all too well. Laced with gothic tension and mythic undertones, Letters in Ivy is a dark, atmospheric descent into madness and longing. A tale where the line between love and delirium blurs-and where ancient hungers will not rest until they are fed again.

It is longer than I thought it would be... (12 pages)

A chapterless short gothic story that I made for my American Lit class in high school. "Ava has 3 children, Adam, Violet, and April. Violet has an anxiety disorder as well as depression, so Ava neglects her. She captivates her. Violet can't go out anyway, due to frequent panic attacks. April is Ava's perfect daughter, forgetting that April and Violet are twins, she believes April to be more beautiful, intelligent, and talented than Violet. Ava, April, and Adam are the perfect family, part of a perfect garden, while Violet is a decaying flower in the midst of it all. When Ava devolopes severe sociopathic tendencies, she becomes insane."
