Hey, everyone, I'm thelitcritguy. I co-host the horror movie podcast Horror Vanguard, have been a regular guest on Revolutionary Left Radio, and make Youtube videos on culture and aesthetics. I write on horror, capitalism, and cultural criticism (you can read my last piece here https://readpassage.com/the-horror-of-capitalism-squid-game-and-the-gothic-trap-of-debt/)

    Start with the classics! Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Matthew Lewis's The Monk The ghost stories of Charles Dickens and Dracula by Bram Stoker from the nineteenth century

    For more contemporary stuff it does depend on what you are into but early Stephen King has some good stuff and you have to read Clive Barker, Shirley Jackson, and Victor LaValle. That should set you off!
