1 | Thomas Castle is a long-time troper and longer-time writer. He grew up watching and loving horror movies and being wrapped up in his own little world, which eventually developed into a love of [[{{WorldBuilding}} worldbuilding]]. After [[{{AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder}} a number]] of [[{{OldShame}} failed projects]] and [[{{StillbornSerial}} false starts]], he finally stumbled onto a hit with ''[[http://sorrowsofblackwood.tumblr.com/ Sorrows Of Blackwood]]'', a [[{{SeriesFranchise}} franchise of serials]] set in and around [[{{TheLostWoods}} the forests]] of [[{{Arcadia}} Inglenook Valley]]. Each series in the franchise is an ensemble character drama that spans the genre spectrum from [[{{GothicHorror}} gothic horror]] to [[{{UrbanFantasy}} urban fantasy]] to [[{{FairyTale}} modern fairy tale]], all of which build up [[{{TheVerse}} one large and interconnected universe]]. |

3 | The headlining series of the franchise is ''Literature/{{Solemn Graces}}'', the aforementioned [[{{GothicHorror}} gothic horror]] series. Planned to [[{{LongRunners}} run for quite a while]], it stars a goth witch by the name of Grace Morgan, who discovers the dark and foreboding town of Grimstead hiding away in Blackwood Forest. This terrifying town is a world where nightmares and superstitions are real and where supernatural mysteries pop up on a daily basis. Grace takes it upon herself to investigate them - with a little help from her partner, a local gravedigger known as Gallo Belgrave. |
