Gothic fiction is generally associated with the repertoire of claustrophobic settings, gloomy themes, and threatening atmosphere. However, later writers shifted the emphasis from cruelty to decadence, while modern Gothic is distinguished by its imaginative variety of voice, from the chilling depiction of a disordered mind to the sinister suggestion of vampirism.
