Thank Olfa Riahi for that. The most famous investigative reporter in Tunisia is a 32-year-old blogger named Olfa Riahi. She broke the country’s biggest post-revolutionary news story—known as Sheratongate –and helped to save the country’s liberal revolution from the Islamists. When Tunisian Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa met with President Barack Obama on Friday he was promised $500 million in loan guarantees and heard America’s enduring commitment to Tunisia’s democratic transition. But without Riahi, that transition might have come to a dead end. William Faulkner, A Rose for Emily (1930) "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. Source: Miette's Bedtime Story Podcast (mp3)Length: 37 minReader: Miette The story: This story defines "Southern Gothic" for me.
Faulkner introduces us to the life of Emily Grierson, a spinster in a small Southern town. Although Miss Emily becomes more and more reclusive, we gain insights into her character through the details of brief encounters between her and the townspeople. In this way, Faulkner builds up a portrait of a genteel lady of the Confederacy whose pride is so strong it seems the only thing propping up her life. Miss Emily reminds me of some of the elderly belles I knew when I lived in Middle Tennessee. Henry James, The Turn of the Screw (1898) Henry James, the Turn of the Screw on LibriVox.

‘As he visited me for several successive days, and the mildness of his countenance encouraged me to address him, I inquired whether he who had formerly attended me was dead. ‘ "Oh no!

The Monk Trailer (2012) Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) LibriVox: The Mysteries of Udolpho, Ann Radcliffe (1794) William Beckford, Vathek (1782) Vathek, ninth Caliph of the race of the Abassides, was the son of Motassem, and the grandson of Haroun Al Raschid.
From an early accession to the throne, and the talents he possessed to adorn it, his subjects were induced to expect that his reign would be long and happy. His figure was pleasing and majestic; but when he was angry one of his eyes became so terrible that no person could bear to behold it, and the wretch upon whom it was fixed instantly fell backward, and sometimes expired. For fear, however, of depopulating his dominions and making his palace desolate he but rarely gave way to his anger.
Being much addicted to women and the pleasures of the table, he sought by his affability to procure agreeable companions; and he succeeded the better as his generosity was unbounded, and his indulgences unrestrained, for he was by no means scrupulous, nor did he think with the Caliph Omar Ben Abdalaziz that it was necessary to make a hell of this world to enjoy Paradise in the next.

Librivox: The Castle of Otranto, Horace Walpole (1764) Gothic fiction articles. Genre or mode of literature and film that combines fiction and horror, death, and at times romance. Romantic Gothic Literature. Every once in a while, a certain movement will have such a profound influence on the world that it changes the way people think and act. The Romantic Age: Topic 2: Overview. The Gothic begins with later-eighteenth-century writers' turn to the past; in the context of the Romantic period, the Gothic is, then, a type of imitation medievalism.
When it was launched in the later eighteenth century, The Gothic featured accounts of terrifying experiences in ancient castles — experiences connected with subterranean dungeons, secret passageways, flickering lamps, screams, moans, bloody hands, ghosts, graveyards, and the rest. By extension, it came to designate the macabre, mysterious, fantastic, supernatural, and, again, the terrifying, especially the pleasurably terrifying, in literature more generally.
