  • Summary

  • In this episode, we receive our first introduction to the Gothic -- what does the term mean? What are its origins? Is it just waiflike women in white nightgowns in old mansions holding a candelabra? Once we know where the Gothic comes from, we'll start to think how we can apply this to fiction now.
