A World of Gothic shows a different side of Amanda McCabe’s writing. Published between 2016 and 2021, the six books trade her usual bright Regency settings for haunted inns, stormy coastlines, and unexplained phenomena. Ghost in the Rain opens the series with a supernatural mystery, and Haunting at Spook Light Inn continues in the same eerie mode.

Blood Stained Memories, Sea of Darkness, and Shadows and Lies each add their own gothic flavor, and Once Upon a Gothic (2021) wraps up the series. The books are shorter than McCabe’s full-length romances and appeal to readers who enjoy their historical fiction with a darker edge.
