Michael Lewis Such a Man I Would Have Become Scott Thomas The Unfinished Book Stephen Volk Celebrity Frankenstein Commentary on the Exotic Gothic series: In 2006, I floated a concept I created called Exotic Gothic to over seventy publishers around the world. It was an experiment in growing neo-Gothic stories: to keep one or more traditional tropes of the old genre in each new story, but add much that s culturally different, and set them all outside of their original birthlands of the UK, Germany, and France. Since then the series has had four volumes, the first three from Ash-Tree Press of Canada (which with regret was unable to produce the fourth due to unforeseen personal commitments and time constraints), and the current from England s PS Publishing (whose name to carry the series was suggested by many of the writers within this all-new collection). Exotic Gothic 2 was a Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, and Exotic Gothic 3 a Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy Award Finalist. Many of the series harrowing and sensual tales now reappear the following year in Best Of and themed collections. PS presents an all-new Exotic Gothic 5 in 2013.« less
