I feel like Pacific Northwest gothic isn’t appreciated as much as it should be, it doesn’t get explored as much and that’s unfortunate cause my home town is a good example of it.

A fishing and logging town where a casualty is unfortunately to common, the waters hold ghosts of long gone family members, nearly everyone believes in spirits, many families go very far back here in history, forests have an eerie yet comforting feeling, every house has ghosts, it is pretty common to find someone who believes in witchcraft and will seek the aid of a witch, surrounded by roads that lead far away and towns with dark histories, gravel roads that go nowhere, a lake is just around the corner, big farmlands where people keep to themselves.

There’s plenty more in my town but I feel like the genre needs more love.
