About

Long before black eyeliner and vampire aesthetics, Nathaniel Hawthorne was wading through the fog of America’s moral and psychological darkness as he wandered the streets of Salem. Thomas O’Brien Vallor believes that Hawthorne’s brooding prose and obsession with the darker side of human nature earned him the title of America’s first goth.
