Eternal Night: Gothic Tales of the Macabre and Dark Fantastic

by Benjamin Fouche

Overview

Insanity. Such an exceedingly over-opinionated word used by the so-called sane. But what truly is this phenomenon we shun without deliberation? Why does this word invoke fright and foreboding? Perhaps your irrational civilization is to blame for the fearful emotions you deem instinctual. And contrary to your unsophisticated preconceived notion, there are many tales within these pages that will, perhaps, persuade you that madness can bestow upon special individuals a wondrous gift. Hearken! For a mortician became enlightened—an innkeeper realized his purpose—a horrid presence on the earth was slain—and the rites of the forsaken were conveyed. Yet this is merely a foretaste of what awaits you. Leave now or embrace the gift I offer you in this realm of nocturnal eternity.

About the Author

About the author:
Sometimes the most efficient way to combat fear is to transfigure that which inflicts fright into something to share with others—whether it be a short-story or novel. By channeling terrors and merging them with the imagination, one may create art which captures all dreadful impressions. Indeed, the ghost story is as old as anyone can recall and is a wondrous way to bring others closer together unharmed. Moreover, one may even conquer one’s fear or understand its genesis through the penning of a story. Benjamin Fouché was by no means the bravest child in his family, yet his curiosity later encouraged him to illuminate the darkness by exploring the realms of fiction, as well as distant memories and fears. Through the inspiration of literature, true events, and his undomesticated imagination, he was able to create realms where only the boldest readers dare tread. Through the guidance and encouragement of his friends Marilyn, Joseph, Edward, and Brian, he aspired. Moreover, among the greatest childhood inspirations was a carnival spook house named “Gravestone Manor” at a local fair he visited every Labor Day. Yet finding discontent with the contemporary world, he chose to remain within the shadows of the past and the forgotten Gothic style.
