Outside, the ice draws closer, the cold bites with teeth sharper than any carnivore. For comfort against the darkness, man invents the first story. It is a horror story. The darkness is beautiful and filled with wonders. Fast forward. Beowulf, Macbeth, and Faust sing The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The Apparition of Mrs. Veal appears to Arthur Mervyn in The Castle of Otranto. The gothic era is born when The Monk and Melmoth the Wanderer tell the Children of the Abbey the History of the Caliph Vathek. Dracula and Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus as his friends call him, investigate The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at Wuthering Heights while The Sorcerer’s Apprentice reads The Diary of a Madman. The darkness grows stronger. The Pit and the Pendulum swings, ushering in a new era, A Descent into the Maelstrom. The Black Cat and The Gold Bug play Hop-Frog over The Cask of Amontillado during The Fall of the House of Usher.
