Originally published in 1934, Seven Gothic Tales, the first book by "one of the finest and most singular artists of our time" (The Atlantic), is a modern classic. Here are seven exquisite tales combining the keen psychological insight characteristic of the modern short story with the haunting mystery of the nineteenth-century Gothic tale, in the tradition of writers such as Goethe, Hoffmann, and Poe.

I never wanted a mate.Until I was put in chains.Strapped down.And claimed.I always believed I could analyze any situation until I found a solution. Solve any problem if I just applied my brain.I went to university, studied science and told myself my academic cocoon would protect me from the alphas dominating our society.I was wrong.No textbook prepared me for my meeting with test subject 351.The biggest, scariest alpha on death row, hauled into my lab to uncover how to control the beast of a man. How to make him submit.Mold him into a weapon.But there is no controlling the feral alpha, and no logic strong enough to save my mind once he unleashes his fury on my body.Once he claims me.

I'm one of them. Yay, me.In order to survive, we have to take on a symbiont that wants to rewire our bodies to live in this brutal place. I like to call it a "cootie." And my cootie's a jerk, because it also thinks I'm the mate to the biggest, grumpiest alien of the bunch. Raahosh believes the cootie's right, so he steals me away from the group, determined to make me fall for him-or else.He has no idea who he's up against.And if I didn't want his insufferable self so much (thanks, cootie), I'd let him know exactly what I'm thinking. As it is, I'm doing my best to fight this instant attraction. Just because the symbiont thinks we're supposed to be together doesn't mean I have to go along with it. And if we fool around a little, it's merely biology. It doesn't mean I'm in love-or that I'm destined to be his.
