Gothic Blue Books were dark cousins of chapbooks and their popularity peaked between the 1800s and early 1900s. They were abridgements, so shorter versions, of Gothic novels which made them very cheap. These tiny tales of terror were often set in dark castles, cursed abbeys, and haunted houses.

This year's collection is called the Cursed Edition because many of the places featured hold an imprint of something terrible that happened. Many also feature cursed buildings, houses - and people. Some people use the word 'curse' jokingly, but some religions, beliefs and cultures do believe that objects, places, and people can become overwhelmed by misfortune. It's often thought that people can place curses on others, or on objects with the hope that harm and hurt will be inflicted. Whether or not you believe in curses there are those that not only believe in them but believe they can place them - so beware.

In this collection you will find haunted and cursed hotels, an old woman who enjoys to knit quietly - keeping her dark secret guarded. There is a meeting with Robert the Doll - believe created with Voodoo, and of course there is a meeting with our dear friend Death.

We hope that you enjoy this, our fifth Gothic Blue Book - The Cursed Edition featuring fiction by Maria Alexander and poetry Stephanie M. Wytovich.
