When writing a gothic story, there are many important things you need to focus on. The main thing I would say though is making your readers understand and feel what you are saying in the story. Anybody can read a story, but in order to remember it you must understand it. Also in a gothic story describe your characters and scenery very well so we can picture what he/she looks like. I honestly believe they explain Gothic stories are wrote to create suspense, make your mind wonder a little. Some people it may frighten or shock , because the way words touch you only you can describe .
