“Now fall. Return to your brothers and sisters. Sleep, and share your dream with those who failed in penance. They who continue to hide their faces and prolong their lies, long after their clothes have turned to dust. If the Miracle has really pointed out to you, you will rise again upon the dead, before the pain of the statue of the twisted Father who will watch over you. If that is your fate then we will meet again.”
The sign hung awkwardly, nailed to the trunk of an old, warped tree.
“the woods are full”
They tossed it aside as they made their way to the camp site, never questioning what the woods might be full of, or who had written the sign. They’d look back on that moment, later.
More appearances of the man with the upside-down face. A New Year’s Eve party at an Air Force base in 1943 where a man was fatally injured, a car accident in 1948, and a disastrous train accident in 1951. It’s interesting to note that no matter how close he gets to other bystanders, no one has ever recalled seeing him at the time. It’s only in the photos after the fact that he’s seen.

so we've talked about southern gothic but what about northern gothic? is that a thing?
There wasn’t so we invented one!
Southern gothic is a conventional literary genre, but northern gothic fiction would just get encapsulated in the overall Gothic genre. BUT. Tumblr made a meme. Because of course we did. It’s here: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/regional-gothic.
So far I’ve found Midwest Gothic: here here and here
Southern California Gothic, which is popular (because of fucking course): here here here here and fuckin here
Northern England Gothic: here and here and here
not to mention chucklefucking Alaskan Gothic: really? i mean really?? fuck you. fuck you alaska.
And fuck me there’s even Gothic subgenres for cities that shouldn’t exist in the first place. Kansas City. Minneapolis. Small town Michigan Gothic?? Toronto? Yeah fucking Toronto.
In fact, there’s assorted Canada Gothic? There’s so much hell-forsaken Canada Gothic, too fuckin much.
International Gothic? Fuck this. There’s So Much Australian Gothic. There’s Finland Gothic. There is so much more and I want nothing to do with it.
But the worse, the absolute worse of the whole satan-forsaken toxic hellpile: Ohio Gothic. I hate Ohio. I am. from. Ohio. I was born there. One day I will die there. I fear Ohio. Because in Ohio: “Holes in the sidewalk. Holes on the street. Holes on the freeway. Holes in your mind.” And Ohioans know: HELL IS REAL.
There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile. The crooked man stepped forth and rang the crooked bell. And thus his crooked soul spiraled into a crooked hell. Murdered his crooked family and laughed a crooked laugh.
