Between the Gothic and the Plague

This collection features five interconnected stories that explore themes of Gothic horror and apocalyptic scenarios. Beginning with Horace Walpole's pioneering Gothic novel, the anthology progresses through William Beckford's Arabian-inspired tale and Mary Shelley's early science fiction narrative. Edgar Allan Poe's work delves into society's responses to catastrophe, while Jack London's story depicts an uncontrollable pandemic. The cover art by Goya adds depth, reflecting the dual nature of monsters created by human imagination and inaction.
