Gothic Dreams was born from Paulette’s desire to share her love of gothic fiction with readers and invite them to participate in a unique reading adventure.
She’s inspired by authors who relish the timeless beauty of gothic fiction, and wanted to create a platform to share their work–especially underrepresented authors in the LGBTQ+ community.
-
A love of reading is best when shared with others. Gothic Dreams is an extension of Paulette’s desire to build bridges and uplift marginalized voices.
A portion of the sales for each box will be donated to LGBTQ+ organizations like The Trevor Project, which offers mental health support for at-risk LGBTQ youth,
“Each book included in every Gothic Dreams box has been personally read by me—from cover to cover. I only include books that inspire and excite me. The kind of books that make you want to tell a friend after reading them.”
