This is a damp festering collection full of death and decay - rotten petals decomposing carcases creeping fungi - with a really interesting theme of living situations or as one story puts it unhomely homes. The characters in these stories are all experiencing their own forms of haunting and must question the boundaries between the real and the imagined. I thought 'Rot' and 'The City Where One Finds the Lost' were excellently visceral and I enjoyed the anti-capitalist undertones that ran throughout the collection.</em><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>' - Alyssa Lloyd Small Press Book Club</span></p><p><br></p><p><em>'Modern Gothic is a tour de force of short horror fiction.
