those who dream only by night: the gothic short stories rec list

have you ever felt like you want to read more fiction in the gothic tradition, but you haven’t the money or the time, or you’re the sort of person who only reads a novel if you’re sure you like the writer? i can help with that! here is a list of short stories, novellas, and one poem, all of which are important in the gothic tradition, the gothic revival, or contemporary gothic fiction, and they are all on the internet! for free! (i enjoy making rec lists, but i particularly enjoy making rec lists where i know that everyone who reads the list can get all of it for free.) so, take a night, make some hot chocolate, and frighten the life out of yourself. you’ll thank me!

So. Mon Mothma is dealing with the fact that she was married off at 15 (something that the canon kind of just. Ignores up to this point??? the horror of????) and is dealing with a controlling abusive husband who is so jealous he weaponized their 15 year old daughter against her and convinced the daughter she wanted to 'follow tradition" and be married off to some boy who hates her but wants her power all as a ploy to keep control over the two women.

and then the daughter cries and tells her mom she doesnt want this and the mom says "you can say no" and the daughter thinks the mother is double crossing her to ruin her happiness because the father is abusive and told her she would do this so she goes through with it and Mon realizes the generational abuse of women is cyclical all while spinning the plates for the rebellion and I just

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

my hypothesis for why we leftists are always at each other’s throats is that when you are left enough, every one is on your right :))

Two thoughts:

Satosugu— never dated, probably never confessed (until whatever satoru said in jjk0), they both KNEW though and pre-Star plasma vessel they thought they had time to just exist around each other and be in love without any kind of name on it. Satoru gets overworked and Suguru falls into depression & defects but their mutual love never goes away. They’re allergic to communication.

Itafushi— yearnology masters. They knew they couldn’t fall in love (yuji’s pending execution and then EVERYTHING ELSE) but they both did anyways. They both understand that the other would do absolutely anything for them but I don’t think they have actually confessed at all. Mutual pining for dumbasses. After the events of everything, I think they end up talking about it all, realizing their mutual feelings, and then they get together. They DO and CAN communicate healthily. They do get to eat the same foods, hang laundry, and exist with each other. Thanks.
