Website features free PD gothic and horror fiction

Here's a site maintained by Dewi Evans, who just earned his Ph.D in English Literature - Congratulations!

His site, as he explains, is "A perpetual miscellany of gothic, horror and supernatural literature, with free ebooks!"

Here's the link:

http://gothictexts.wordpress.com/

A highly recommended site if, like me, you enjoy older gothic classics.

Recent posts (and public domain ebooks) include these titles of interest:

Madam Crowl’s Ghost and Other Stories (1923) by Sheridan Le Fanu
From Out of the Silence (1920) by Bessie Kyffin-Taylor
‘The Vampyre’ by John Polidori and ‘Fragment of a Novel’ by Lord Byron
Carnacki, the Ghost Finder (1913) by W.H. Hodgson
Wandering Ghosts (1903) by F. Marion Crawford
