He misses the heydays of the 1980s and 90s, when he was ruling the horror fiction charts, and now finds himself scrambling to remain a relevant author. He hasn't had a hit in years, his agent won't take his calls, and he's never felt older.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, on his 59th birthday, his girlfriend gives him the gift of a lifetime: a monstrous antique desk. Rejuvenated by the desk's mysterious energy, he begins writing with an all-consuming passion-and a savage darkness--he hasn't felt in decades, and is eager to get his career back on track. Unfortunately, the desk, and the evil spirit that harbors within, has other plans. It won't stop until it gets what it wants--even if it must destroy Tyson, and everyone he holds dear, in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this terrifying novel of art, obsession, and the horror of creation, Fracassi shows why he's become a fan favorite among contemporary horror authors. Now in a brand-new edition, which includes a never-before-seen excerpt, \u003ci\u003eGothic\u003c\/i\u003e is a dread-fueled dive into what a writer is willing to do to serve the muse, and his own desires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-17903655\"\u003ePhilip Fracassi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clash Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781968043001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1968043004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC015040\"\u003eHorror | Occult \u0026amp; Supernatural\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC027040\"\u003eGothic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC015050\"\u003eHorror | Psychological\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Fracassi is the Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award-nominated author of the novels \u003ci\u003eA Child Alone with Strangers, Gothic, Boys in the Valley, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Third Rule of Time Travel\u003c\/i\u003e.
