And I'm certainly not saying that part of the cover isn't gothic. It's just - not very good art, especially the bottom half, which has a completely different style.It might be worth noting that the new Dragonlance novel covers also have a very photoshopped copy-paste look to them. As I keep saying, for digital sales, the cover doesn't matter, it's not worth spending much money on.But, as I said earlier, we do not know this new book is supposed to be horror, but we do know it isn't a continuation of the original Ravenloft novel series (different publisher for a start). It's intentionally in a different style.No it isn't, but it makes it not a romance, which is the other main gothic subgenre. But some of those other old Ravenloft covers could pass as Mills & Boon.Black roses are pretty gothic!If you want to pick this apart, you picked the wrong novel!</blockquote>
