Synopsis

A collection of short stories and poems resurrect the spirit of the Gothic Blue Book.

Gothic Blue Books were short fictions popular in the 18th and 19th century. They were descendants of the chap book trade—small, affordable booklets that spread terrifying stories of haunted castles, cursed abbeys, supernatural beings, restless ghosts, and dark revenge. These stories were meant to thrill, unsettle, and horrify, blending horror and Gothic romance in unforgettable ways.

Burial Day Books presents its second Gothic Blue Book: The Revenge Edition.

This carefully curated anthology features fifteen short stories and poems from both new and established horror authors. Each tale explores the Gothic obsession with misery, fear, despair, regret, and dread while reimagining the old tradition for modern readers. Within these pages, you’ll uncover vengeful spirits, witches that refuse to stay buried, cursed lovers, sinister crypts, and encounters with death itself.

Unlike ordinary horror, Gothic horror thrives on atmosphere—decay, loss, forbidden secrets, and the chilling consequences of revenge. The Revenge Edition continues this tradition, weaving narratives that echo the past while confronting contemporary fears.
