On his 59th birthday, Tyson Parks—a famous, but struggling, horror writer—receives an ornate antiquarian desk in the hopes it will rekindle his creative juices. Perhaps inspire him to write another best-selling book and prove his best years aren’t behind him…

As Tyson begins to use the new desk, he finds himself writing copy at an unfathomable speed, becomes so focused on writing that he binges on all-night, all-day sessions that take a serious physical and psychological toll.

Soon, Tyson begins acting strange. Violent.

Meanwhile, a mysterious woman, Diana Montresor, is making inquiries with her sources around the globe for the whereabouts of a certain artifact she, and her family, have been hunting for centuries.

As forces converge on Tyson’s world, he faces the hardest choice of his life: Does he let go of his new muse, allow it to be taken back to the void of history where it belongs? Or does he continue to live as the desk’s mouthpiece, not only regaining his glory days as a famous writer, but achieving levels of success he’s only dreamed of?

As the desk—and the force that lives inside it—grows stronger, he must choose.

Before it’s too late.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A dark and delirious journey into the unraveling of a mind, Gothic is the accursed 21st century bastard child of the 70s horror boom and John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. Deadly, compelling, and pulls no punches."—BRIAN EVENSON

"GOTHIC is the literary equivalent of the abyss gazing right back at you from the hellish depths of its pages. Don't lean in too close, lest you fall into this nightmarish novel and never find your way out again."—CLAY MACLEOD CHAPMAN, author of Ghost Eaters

"Stylish, atmospheric, and chilling, GOTHIC is an affectionate ode to the horror greats, and an effective reminder that Philip Fracassi is destined to become one of them. One of my favorite reads of the year so far."—KEALAN PATRICK BURKE, author of Kin and Sour Candy

I liked Gothic, because it didn’t have a happy ending. It reminded me of Into the Mouth of Madness, where there is no ending. Just an endless carrying of the darkness that’s emerged.

Sad and Gruesome

Tyson Parks is a famous horror novelist has-been who is in desperate need of a new best-selling book. His girlfriend Sarah gifts him a very expensive, gothic-looking desk for him to write his next bestseller on. As soon as he starts writing on the desk, he's sent into a dangerous writing trance. On the other side of the world, a mysterious woman is desperately seeking this desk in order to destroy it and end the evil curse attached to it. From the moment this desk entered his life a gory, violent story begins and Tyson literally cannot type fast enough.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a good psychological episode and/or descent into madness story. There were many moments where I had to pause and come back to it later in order to recompose and separate myself from the events unfolding in the book. It's this type of reaction that makes this a true horror story for me. Masterfully done Mr. Fracassi.

A simple premise, results in a chilling story.

One of the most horrifying books I read in a long time. finished this book in just two days. It was very good. Now I want to read other titles by this author a lot more.

Horrifying

I honestly didn’t expect much from a book about a writer and his evil desk. I was wrong. The story is engaging, keeps you reading, the characters develop well, and when the horror hits, it hits pretty hard I thought.

Original story

Solid narration and expertly worded prose knock this out of the park. A thrilling listen.

Excellently written

Such a good book with disturbing visuals. Worth a credit if your into someone essentially becoming possessed by an item and all the consequences of that.

Awesome

I almost didn't buy this book because I read several of the reviews that did not portray this book as something I would enjoy.

I'm glad I ignored them

This story is multidimensional, with layers of different horror and fear throughout the plot and the characters. I really enjoyed the characters and the narrator did a fantastic job with voicing each one. I also enjoyed the writing of horrors associated with obsession, possession, needs, wants, the fine line between evil and good.

I would highly recommend this book and I look forward to other works by this author.

Don't Listen to the Critics

Overall I gave this 4 stars because it was written too well, contained great tension, for me to give it anything less. And the narration was wonderful. With that being said, while the tension and dread were there throughout, I can’t say I cared what happened to the “protagonist”. I absolutely want to read more of Fracassi’s work though because it’s obvious why he’s one of the names that gets brought into the conversation when talking about modern horror

Solid tension and great narration

Gothic took me back to the horror books I snuck off my mom and dad's shelves in the late 70's / early 80's - raw, unfiltered, brutal, and truly unsettling. The prose feels elevated and literary. The story, though not new, is beautifully executed - it pushes all the right buttons, and evokes all the right feelings. As for the story itself - objects possessed by evil are one of my favorite tropes, The characters really come fully to life, likable, or not, and their individual descents into madness and terror are striking and powerful. Fracassi is really gifted at creating characters that inspire strong emotions in the reader. I found myself genuinely infuriated and anxious and truly sad, as if I were reading stories about people I know. The ending initially left me wanting a bit more, but the more I thought about it after the fact, the more I settled into it.

I will for sure read more books by this author. I keep hearing raves about The Boys in the Valley on the Books of Horror facebook group, so that will probably be next.

This brutal old-school horror novel delivers

This book was SO entertaining and trust me I am so picky when it comes to audiobooks. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone who is into horror. This made me want to write a horror book honestly (maybe without a desk tho) lol.
