Gothic Stuff

I believe the supernatural is is the best element in a gothic novel. For example , Frankenstein's monster had supernatural strength and powers. (Super speed and strength) That small detail just made the story so much more interesting I believe. Not only in Frankenstein is that a cool and powerful element , but it is a good tool in any story. Like in vampire stories (ex : Twilight) and in scary stories. I know some people may not agree with me , but I just love reading about things that wouldn't normally happen in every day life.
