Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm not a native English speaker. However, I don't see this as a problem, and you should judge my work as you would any other. I'm very new here, and I'm fairly new to writing. (At least when it comes to creative writing.)
I'm a Swedish guy who enjoys reading mainly fantasy, but also mysterious stories in other settings, preferably ones that focus on psychological aspects. I am for example a very big fan of psychological thrillers when it comes to movies. I haven't read too many of them, but I'd imagine they would fit well in writing form.
I'm always interested in reading Fantasy stories. Post on my "comment for comment" discussion if you want me to read yours - you'll just have to read mine as well!

Some of my favourite book series include:
"The Black Magician Trilogy" by Trudi Canavan
"A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R Martin
The "Narnia" series by CS. Lewis (Yes, this is probably mostly nostalgia from my younger years. I also absolutely love the original BBC Tv series: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094500/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_14 )
"Graceling", and "Fire" by Catherine Cashore
I've also very much enjoyed some books from Raymond E. Feist, but he's written so many that I can't mention them all.
Another favourite from long ago was a book called "Tersias" by Graham P. Taylor.
Some random facts that might be interesting:
While writing, I like to listen to inspiring music, such as Eluveitie, Sirenia, Everygrey, Nightwish and so forth. Right now though, I mostly listen to Derek Fietcher when writing and reading.
Don't get me wrong, my taste in music is much broader than just gothic music, but somehow it really inspires me when I'm writing or reading anything fantasy-related.
