Elements of Gothic Fiction - IN-PERSON

In this workshop, participants will learn the basic themes and tropes for these subgenres of Gothic Fiction: Gothic Romance, Gothic Horror, and Southern Gothic. Writers will be invited to choose a tarot card as a portal to a free write exercise utilizing Gothic elements. The session will conclude with a readaround (in which it is always honorable to pass) and time for craft-related Q & A.
