Writers found in the horror genre don’t often fare too well. It can be due to their own desperation. Ethan Hawke’s true-crime author in Sinister and Courteney Cox’s erotic fiction writer in the tv series Shining Vale, are two who hardly consider their family over their own ambitions.

Emerging at the end of the 18th century, Gothic fiction is known for its ability to incite uneasiness. It is not mere horror, with blood, gore, and chainsaws. Rather, it's the type of story that won't have you acknowledging your fear until you're right in the thick of it. Think...
