A Gothic Lolita's Bookshelf

A lolita can read anything. Quite frankly they should. But it makes total sense that a gothic lolita might be interested in reading, well, gothic literature. Just for fun, I have compiled some of the most classic gothic novels and authors by year for your reading enjoyment. I have included are some other non-gothic novels I think you should check out if you like gothic horror as much as I do. Enjoy~!

I love a good scary story 𓉸ྀི
