Gothic Romance Paperback Artist
Comic Book Art
The Gothic Romance genre is typified by a female protagonist beset by controlling (often male) forces. This genre allowed women's romances to stray into dangerous and sometimes forbidden territory. These common themes accidentally created a sub-genre of cover art for such novels that is referred to as the "Women running from houses" sub-genre of Gothic Romance. These cover pieces are typically lushly painted, feature a fleeing frightened woman in the foreground, with a darkly sinister house/castle/mansion in the background. The abode almost always has only one window lit, usually up very high. The number of collectors of such art are increasing.
