I love reading Gothics but they are hard to come by. At the moment I don't have the money to buy all the ones I'd like on eBay. I'm trying to make a study of them, especially ones from the 50s-70s, even the trash. The reason for this is that I've heard all the bad press and I'd like to experience the trash before I can give my judgment. I have come across some really bad ones in the past, but they were written after the said period of mass production and poor plotting. I recently came across some older mysteries from the same period and there are some Gothic elements to them. I'm heading over to write some reviews.
