But, instead of dragons or stories of a family, these carvings were silhouettes of people and fires—a long path leading up to a throne with skulls and people bowing before it.

The interior of the cabin was much larger than she had expected with high, slanted ceilings and burnished wooden floors. It would have been light and airy if not for the Gothic decor, everywhere were intricately carved ornaments and furniture, depicting demonic figures and scenes.

He's so attractive, it is downright scary. *click* *click* *click* His cane hits the ground softly as he strides with calculated precision. Even his gait is powerfully appealing. Everything about him defines deadly masculinity. He could very well have been transported from the 19th century, dressed as he was. A character out of the 19th-century Gothic novel.

“Maybe it was my imagination?” She stopped when she reached the base of the miniature staircase. Her attention was captured by the ornate design carved into the thin pillars supporting the porch roof and the worn railings. The cottage not only appeared from the outside in a gothic-beautiful light, but also the small details certainly delighted Leah: she always breathed unevenly towards everything gloomy, with a tangible touch of mysticism.
