He talks me through the foundations of the gothic, its traits and what the genre is about at its core. We reference texts such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber.

Great discussion for anyone currently studying the gothic and any one or more of the above texts.
