I'm looking to try out a few American authors. By try out, I mean that I'll read one or a few of their books. What American Gothic authors do you like?

GOTHIC ALERT!! GOTHIC ALERT!!


In August,2008, Eve Silver's historical gothic, HIS WICKED SINS, will be released. I've read an excerpt and it's great!

I enjoy Carol Goodman's stories. She writes modern day gothics.

Manderley,

I have not heard of Carol Goodman. What gothics has she written so that I can be on the lok out for them?

I agree with Manderley. I've only read The Ghost Orchid (see reviews), but want to read more by this author.

I've read "The Lake of Dead Languages", "The Ghost Orchid" and "The Drowning Tree". Of these, the first one is by far the best IMO. I loved it. And I'm planning to read more by her.

Mind you, she writes gothic, but she's not heavy on the romance, so if that's the main thing for you, you might not like her. I don't care so much for romance, but I'm all for atmosphere and she provides plenty of that.
