Ever wondered what the key components of a True Gothic Romance are? Although you will probably at least have a vague idea of what a gothic romance should look and feel like, I believe it is high time we do some more thorough examination. Dressing in black and kissing in graveyards is just too basic.

Fantastic Beasts ROASTED
No, not literally. I’m talking about the movie. As you may have read in the Hopes & Fears article, we had such high hopes for this movie. Now that many of you have probably seen it, it’s time to discuss the actual film. You may have figured this out for yourself, but that means SPOILER ALERT!!

George R.R. Martin is the Biggest Troll in the Universe
Not so long ago, I found this large pile of new dark/reddish fantasy literature in the bookstore. Do not judge me, but I had no idea a new George R.R. Martin was released.

I thought winter was coming but…

That’s also why I suspect that much like me, you are hoping for the best and fearing the worst while awaiting the newest ‘let’s milk Harry’ production. For sensitive fanboys- and girls, being prepared when you enter that cinema may prevent disappointment and utter despair before the credits start rolling…
