It's strange to look back and evaluate your reading interests. Growing up, my first interests were fairy tales, mostly Brothers Grimm. Then juveniles mysteries, etc. Really, you can classify the Grimm fairy tales as Gothic tales with some fantasy. That's probably why Disney and others have capitalized on the suspense in those stories. I think deep down, more people are interested in Gothics than they will admit.
