Chapter 1

The Wellingtons


Fireflies glimmered with sparks of orange light as the gloaming began
to fall. Tables were set out on the manicured lawn of the Wellington
estate in Great Neck, Long Island. Yellow lanterns were strung around
the perimeters. Their golden light radiated along the garden’s edge like a
gilded frame. In the distance the soft hum of the train… Continue

Chapter One

The Roses

The town of Clinton, Connecticut lay beneath mounds of freshly fallen
snow. A lone shadow against the New England landscape, Lawrence Gray’s
gnarled form veered alongside the cathedral to the Saint James Cemetery.
The skeleton trees exaggerated the old man’s pallor while the bouquet of
roses he clutched contrasted to the winter and season of… Continue

Chapter 1

Edith

Courtney Gold stirred in her sleep as the wind thrashed at her window. She could swear she felt a warm breath upon her cheek as she stumbled out of bed. Her golden-wheat hair was tousled around her shoulders while her high cheekbones deemed her suitable for silk and pearls. Dressed in an ecru nightgown, which reached to the top of her long drink of… Continue

Chapter 1

The Bordello 1995

Ray Brent looked out of place walking down the seamy side of Spanish Harlem in his classic gray wool suit and blue shirt. His freshly polished penny loafers were as shiny as his brown hair which he wore parted on the side, and neatly combed.

At forty, Ray appeared youthful and manly in equal proportions. Charisma emitted through his b… Continue

This novel is a mix of my college inspired mind and my adult mind, merged in a saga of vintage seduction, revisited . . .” J. R. LaGreca

Chapter 1

The Wrath

The beautiful Camille Casey sat before the lit fireplace, perusing the
South Shore Weekly, with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. She turned to
the Nuptial Section when her hands began to tremble with disbeli… Continue

I was going through the playlist, and it got to "Madeylns lament" and the pic feature stopped at the pic of you in white laying on your side. It seemed synchronis, the pic and the music, like a deadly syren guiding people to doom on the shores of gothica LOL Hope you're having a great day.

Hi Jody;

Thanks for inviting me. I'm pleased to be here. But must state up front that being a historical fiction writer, I would be more of a listner than a talker here in a Gothic Literature Group.

Best,
Wally
