Steeped in melancholy and folklore, Britannia Gothica - Words from the Rain reflects on an older, perhaps lost part of the United Kingdom—its endless coastlines, acres of rich green grass, the spaces where stories still linger.
These gothic tales reimagine a softer, more romantic era while staying true to the genre's dark themes, rich metaphors, and relentless use of language and scale.
In a modern world that rarely stops for poignant feelings or liminal places, these stories ask us to remember what otherwise might be forgotten.
Each month a new story or poem from the collection is published here. This month: The Fantasist - a story of love and loss held in a dreamscape.
