Description

A Ballad for a Gothic Heart is an anthology of haunting poems and ghostly tales steeped in the rich tradition of Gothic storytelling.

In the opening collection, the author presents vivid imagery and stirring narratives exploring love, grief, stormy nights, and watchful ravens. The second section turns inward, delving into emotions tied to home, love, and loss—experiences that many can relate to.

Inspired by her Gothic novels, the third section offers poetic extracts and new verses, bringing beloved characters and settings to life and inviting readers into the darkened corners of these stories.

Finally, a slection of ghostly tales written over the years, rediscovered in forgotten notebooks and tucked-away folders. Each story captures a fleeting, haunting moment that lingers in the shadows, embracing the chill of the unknown.

Although poetry hasn’t always been the author’s focus, this collection is a true labour of love. Every piece is written from the heart, hoping these haunting whispers will echo in the quiet corners of each reader’s mind.
